List, André De Tienne, Director and General Editor of The Peirce Edition Project, has asked that we forward this important announcement (also as a Word attachment).
Best, Gary and Ben (writing as co-managers of PEIRCE-L and Arisbe) SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT THE PEIRCE PROJECT’S NEW WEBSITE The Peirce Edition Project is very happy to announce that it has a brand-new website! It has a new address: www.peirce.iupui.edu, but it also retains the old address, www.iupui.edu/~peirce/. Our new website has been completely redesigned in order to make it easily navigable and readable. It provides far more information, for the most part either new or rewritten entirely. Not every corner of the site is finished yet, and we are adding new elements every day. Everything important is in place, however, enough so that you should find your visit rewarding. The site’s structure is distributed among eight tabs. The first tab, “Project,” explains in detail our reconceived mission, describes our history, identifies staff members, lists the members of the advisory board, and describes the kind of activities we assign to graduate interns. We will later describe our collaborative initiatives. The second tab, “Edition,” consolidates a large amount of information regarding each of the volumes we have published in the *Writings of Charles S. Peirce* series, as well as the two-volume *The Essential Peirce.* Each volume is presented through an “overview,” and accompanied by its table of contents, the text of its introduction, an updated list of errata, and other elements when available in the case of a few volumes. The overview of the second *EP* volume charts four itineraries through EP1 and EP2 that researchers and teachers will find useful when planning a course or a line of study. The third tab, “Peirce,” provides various kinds of information about Peirce himself. Its content will be refreshed and grow over time. The fourth tab, “Methods,” provides a comprehensive tour of our entire editorial operation, under nine chapters. We describe our workflow, the principles and methods of manuscript organization, copy-text selection, transcription, and critical editing. The aim is to make our operation more transparent while also educating visitors about the many complexities attached to a high-standard scholarly edition. The fifth tab, “Resources,” is intended to describe all of our holdings so that visiting researchers know what resources they may expect to consult. Some resources are available online, such as the published papers and the *Robin Catalogue* (whose rights Richard Robin gave to PEP). Those holdings include many of the various components of the Max H. Fisch Library, and the Project’s extensive archives. The sixth tab, “Research,” describes the Project as a research center long renowned for its welcoming plenty of visitors. We describe the policy for visiting the Project, salute our current visitors, list with much appreciation the names of our past visitors, and explain what the “Peirce Seminar Series” is all about, while also listing the names of all past presenters along with the title of their presentations. The seventh tab, “Publications,” makes available several documents we have produced over the years that reflect on various parts of our work. This area will also grow over time. It also presents the Peirce Project series at Indiana University Press. The final tab, “Technology,” is most important. Here we describe our several initiatives regarding the electronic future of the edition, and explain in detail, often with illustrations, how we have been planning and developing STEP, STEP Tools, and CORPUS. We also present two applications we have developed: LiveIndexer (a sophisticated back-of-the-book indexing program loaded with many functionalities), and PithMaker (a fun application that can be downloaded for free!). Peirce’s spirit inhabits the entire website. Nearly every page opens or ends with one or more quotations that relate to the content of that page evocatively. In addition, the left side of every page displays tokens of “Peirce’s pith”: a random pithy statement or aphorism that changes each time one moves to a new tab or refreshes a page. Website visitors are encouraged to click on “Peirce’s pith” to increase pithiness in the world. We hope that everyone with an interest in Peirce will visit and appreciate our website. Please feel free to send us suggestions and ideas on how to keep improving it (cpei...@iupui.edu). Do not forget to click the refresh button because the content increases or changes rapidly. We will soon add many links to the rest of the Peirce scholarship. As always, we count on your support and thank you for it. The Peirce Project is hard at work, with revived pep! 18 June 2015 ------------------------------ ----------------------- *André De Tienne, Ph.D.* Director and General Editor Peirce Edition Project Institute for American Thought Professor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy Vice President, Charles S.
