STAGE 1: Identification, recovery, and selection of
items for the volume—Steps 1–14
1. Identify complete manuscript set for volume period using copies from archives (set 2). CdW, ADT, AE
2. Begin page sequencing into order of composition for manuscripts likely to be selected for publication and look for additional pages that may have been misfiled, or recycled by Peirce, or put with fragments. CdW, ADT, AE
3. Create Manuscript Reconstruction reports (if needed) outlining compositional order, marking lacunae, providing rationale for reconstruction, and identifying material from earlier drafts or variants that may qualify for inclusion in annotations. File paper copy of report in set 2 folders. CdW, ADT, AE
4. Create a record in Peirce Papers Database of each identified document. CdW, ADT, AE
5. Review and complete preliminary selection of texts to be considered for publication. Send list to contributing editors for advice and comment. ADT, CdW, AL, AE
6. Arrange selections chronologically, integrate published writings, and prepare chronological catalog of all extant writings from period of the volume in progress. Update database. ADT, CdW, AE
7. Prepare genealogies, to be used in selection headnotes, for the texts proposed for publication. CdW, ADT, AE, ATE
8. Collate drafts and variants and confirm compositional sequence. ATE, DS, JE
9. Consult (as needed) with contributing editors about selection and organization of manuscripts. Prepare and send materials to contributing editors as required. Begin annotation research. CdW, ADT, AE, LM, RA
10. Select copy-texts. Annotate set 3 (editing-folder copy) to indicate continuity through difficult copy-text transitions, and pass the copy-text to the technical staff. JE, ADT, CdW, ATE > JK, DR
11. Make preliminary word count and set final table of contents. Build accordion folders. Confirm working numbers and build editing folders (set 3) item by item. ADT, CdW, DR

13. Assign historical introduction. ADT
14. Review master template and certify that all volume specifications (transcription through layout attributes) are ready to go. AL, ATE, JE, CdW
STAGE 2: Transcription perfection (initial series of
proofreadings)—Steps 15–31
15. Transcribe text (and tag Peirce’s alterations) using PEP-developed tagging system, and create the base transcription file in FrameMaker + SGML (base file). The transcriber will maintain access control over the transcription and its modifications. JK, DR

34. Using Circulating Copy marked up with suggested emendations, Textual Editor makes final editorial decisions and marks up textual emendations (red), silent regularizations (blue), and any remaining perfection errors discovered during the editing stage (pencil) on the master Editing Copy. If needed, Textual Editor convenes editorial session to brief others on final editing choices. ATE, JE
35. Pass the electronic file of the textual apparatus notes (headnotes and textual notes) and any lists not marked in the editing copy (end-line hyphenation and rejected substantives) from textual editor to transcriber. JE > DR
36. Impose the textual emendations marked on the editing copy printout into the electronic file using tags; be sure to convert the superseded copy-text reading to conditional text (do not erase it). DR
37. Team-check the emended copy against the Editing Copy. Check the editorial linking tags against the apparatus lists (emendations, selected alts, hyphenations, and rejected substantives) and correct if necessary. Enter corrections. JK, DS, RA, DR, ATE
