Documents Submission

Document Submission

Thank you for your interest in contributing to the Association for Documentary Editing’s semiquincentennial gallery. Part of the ADE’s new website, it will showcase the diverse documents and voices that editors, recovery professionals, and other practitioners are opening to public access. We welcome contributions from all time periods (precolonial to present) and from all regions that are, or have been, parts of, or impacted by, the United States. As the nation marks 250 years since its founding, the gallery will launch at the ADE/Recovery joint conference in October 2026. Submissions received by September 10 will be included at the launch. The gallery will continue to grow, as a living resource, so we welcome contributions at any time.
