The Emerging Nation Products
As part of The Emerging Nation project (a documentary edition focusing on early foreign relations of the United States), staff members, with the able assistance of National Archives and Records Administration volunteers, have prepared a reader for collegiate classroom use and an education kit for middle and secondary school use. The reader, The Emerging Nation: Documents of United States Diplomacy, 1775-1789, draws together documents from the holdings of the National Archives and Records Administration, the British Public Record Office, the French Foreign Affairs Archives, and other repositories, as well as printed documentary sources. The education kit engages students in diplomatic discussions and conflict resolution (see accompanying article). These two products are at the publishers.With the completion of the project, staff members will retire The Emerging Nation files and move on to other work. However, part of this work will be related to project materials. At the request of the Government Printing Office, the three scholarly volumes will be released on CD-ROM; the proposed price will be less than $30. In addition to the CD-ROM publication, the project's document files are being prepared for a microfilm edition with accompanying guide. More on these products in upcoming issues of Annotation.
