We are pleased to announce that the Margaret Sanger Papers Project has been
selected to host one of two 2004-5 Fellowships in Documentary Editing.
Offered annually by the National Historical Publications and Records
Commission (NHPRC),a division of the National Archives, applications for the
Fellowship are now being accepted.

The successful candidate will work full-time at the Margaret Sanger Papers
Project in New York City, on all aspects of historical editing, starting
September 1, 2004. The Project will be working on Volumes III and IV of its
four-volume edition of the papers of the founder of the American birth
control movement. Volume III is titled "The Great Liberator, 1939-1966,"
and documents Sanger's work in the United States on issues ranging from the
development of the contraceptive pill and the extension of birth control
services to African-Americans and to the poor. Volume IV, entitled "Round
the World for Birth Control, 1922-1959" covers Sanger's efforts to globalize
the birth control movement, from her 1922 Asian tour, through international
conferences and the creation of the International Planned Parenthood
Federation in 1952.

The Editing Fellow's work will include selection of documents, transcription,
proofreading, research for annotation, editing the manuscript and the
creation of introductions, head notes and indexes for the volumes. The
Editing Fellow will be trained in all facets of historical editing, both at
the Project and at the June 2004 NHPRC-sponsored Institute for the Editing
of Historical Documents, held one week in June in Madison Wisconsin.

Applicants must be U.S. citizens, who hold a Ph.D. or who have completed all
requirements for the Ph.D. save the dissertation. Current and past students,
interns or others from New York University (the host institution) are not
eligible.

Please direct any questions about the fellowship competition to the NHPRC.
Guidelines and application forms, which must be submitted to the NHPRC by
March 1, 2004, are available at:

writing to the NHPRC at "Fellowship Program, NHPRC, National Archives, Room
