| Abstract | [W]orkshop participants set out to evaluate the editing and other work done with immigrant letters in the past, and to assess the uses that scholars--within and outside the historical profession--might make of such letters. Topics included aspects of immigrant correspondence that deserve greater attention, the impact of changing communication, archival practices, contextualization of letters, letters as "the real guidebooks" for immigrants, cultural history approaches to immigrant letters, and the linguistic potential of letter evidence. |
