> >   The _American National Biography_, which is to be published by

> >   Oxford in 1998 in conjunction with the American Council of Learned

> >   Societies, will be a twenty-volume reference set comprising more

> >   than 19,000 articles on historical figures from all fields. We

> >

> >   Historical figures from as far back as the earliest European

> >   explorations of North America up to the very recent past will be

> >   included. Those whose contributions to American culture and

> >   history that have often been neglected in the past will have a

> >   strong presence in the ANB. Along with the most famous

> >   politicians, military leaders, writers, and ministers, people from

> >   all walks of life will be illuminated in the ANB's pages: social

> >   reformers and filibusters, geologists and fundamentalists,

> >   phrenologists and psychiatrists, classicists and jazz musicians,

> >   baseball players and bankers, among other categories of occupation,

> >   notoriety, and renown. Memorializing their lives will reveal the

> >   country's ongoing diversity, its essential pluralism.

> >   The subjects of articles have been selected by the general editor,

> >   John A. Garraty (Gouverneur Morris Professor Emeritus of History,

> >   Columbia University) and his immediate staff; a group of associate

> >   editors, some 193 eminent scholars and nonacademic experts located

> >   around the country and abroad; various other scholars who have

> >   taken a keen interest in the project; and, with the advice of both

> >   associate editors and contributors, the four project editors in the

> >   Most articles average 1000 words in length (exclusive of the

> >   bibliography), at $50.00 per essay (a result of funding from grants

> >   obtained by the ACLS in the late 1980s). Our scheduled publication

> >   date is late 1998, but we must have essays in our office much

> >   earlier for editing purposes. Because we deal with so many

> >   contributors (over 10,000), we ask them to establish their own due

> >   dates depending on the number of essays they wish to contribute and

> >   their schedules. (For 1st time contributors, the first essay must

> >   arrive within three to four months so it can be evaluated prior to

> >   When manuscripts are submitted, they are sent to appropriate

> >   associate editors for review. They then are passed along to

> >   Professor Garraty's office at Columbia, where they are approved or

> >   returned to authors for revision. The approved manuscripts go back

> >   to Oxford University Press in Cary to be factchecked and copyedited
