ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION


Historical Note

Daedalus is the quarterly journal published by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. The Fall 1982 volume of Daedalus, “Print Culture and Video Culture” (Vol. 111, No. 4), examines the roles of print culture and video culture in research and learning. In his 1982 Report of the Editor, Stephen R. Graubard acknowledges the communication revolution that was happening at the time. 
Efforts to organize the issue began in 1973. In Paris January 14-15, 1976, the Academy held the Conference on Print Culture and Video Culture followed by the Print and Video Luncheon on Children's Literature on November 16, 1981. An author’s conference was held at the House of the Academy on March 18, 1982, for the contributors to review drafts of the articles. After the conference contributors edited their manuscripts for final submittals. The 1985 Report of the Editor mentioned this 1982 volume had spurred subsequent conferences in Cambridge, London, and Paris. 
Funding for this issue was provided by the Markle Foundation and the Rockefeller Foundation.

Arrangement

Processing for this series utilized “More Product, Less Process” (MPLP) principles: thus, minimal preservation steps were taken and folder titles listed in the finding aid are as they appeared on the original folders. Where lacking, folder titles and dates have been ascribed in brackets. 
The series is arranged into two subseries: Subseries 1: Administrative Records, 1973-1983; and Subseries 2: Contributor Records, 1978-1984. The arrangement of Subseries 1 is generally chronological and is mostly in original order. Subseries 2 have been alphabetized.
