Week 12

This week in my Internship with the Florida Historical Quarterly I did my usual work as well as a few new projects for the Quarterly. I was given an article that had been published in a newly released book that I had to read and compare to that of a manuscript submitted by the same author to the Quarterly and compare the two to see how closely they were related. This was a great exercise not only because it helped me to evolve my skills as an editor, but also because the information was relative to a project I am currently working on myself. Also, I started work on compiling a list of State journals and their author. This project has proven to be slightly more difficult that I initially anticipated, but I have made much progress.

Week 11 - Things Die Down

This week in my Internship with the Florida Historical Quarterly things died down significantly from the events of the previous weeks and I was able to get back to focusing my work in my normal duties. I worked on editing an article and expanded the Database even more getting closer and closer to my goal of 100 scholars.

Week 10 - The Big Event

This week was the Schofner Lecture put on by the Florida Historical Quarterly. The event went extremely well. Even though the extensive involvement I had in this event was not conventional to an Internship in an academic journal I got to spend time with the guest lecturer and better understand how guest presentations work and are produced. The knowledge I gained from working on this project was unconventional, but something I could not have gotten anywhere else. In addition I worked on Editing articles in the later days of the week, however the majority of my time was devoted to that lecture.
