1. After the Prize: Indexing at the Einstein Papers Project.

Abstract

The Einstein Papers Project (EPP) was honored to receive the British Society of Indexers' Wheatley Medal in 2009 for its cumulative index to the first ten volumes of The collected papers of Albert Einstein (CPAE). The experience introduced us to SI and its standards of excellence in the field. This, in turn, encouraged us to reflect on our methods of indexing and to consider ways of improving them. This article provides a measure of thanks for the recognition awarded by SI and for the lessons learned in the craft of indexing. We do this in the form of a brief narrative about the origins and aims of the EPP, vignettes from two CPAE volumes of events surrounding Einstein's breakthrough to celebrity, details of our working methods in preparing the volumes and indexes, and a discussion of improvements we are considering for the indexes of future volumes.

Abstract

The long-awaited comprehensive publication of Einstein's papers is an achievement of considerable importance. The project is a joint effort of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (to which Einstein bequeathed his manuscripts and copyrights) and Princeton University Press, which has sponsored a staff of historians and archivists under the direction of Professor John Stachel of Boston University. After several years of patient and systematic collecting of dispersed writings and documents of (or related to) Einstein, Professor Stachel's team has come out with an impressive first volume. It is the first of no less than approximately forty projected volumes in the series. It covers the years from 1879 to 1902, that is, the first twenty-three years of Einstein's life, which goes up to the time when he began to work for the Swiss Patent Office. The patient search has borne admirable fruits, for on the whole this edition is an absolute model in the genre. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

*TRANSLATING & interpreting, *HISTORY of science, *SCHOLARLY method
Abstract

A translator and her science consultant, who have worked together on many books, consider the problems of translating primary and secondary texts in science. Various problems encountered in translating an ongoing documentary edition in the history of science are discussed using the collected works of Albert Einstein as a test case. For instance, each language has its own preferred sentence structure; moreover, not every historical term finds a perfect equivalent in modern usage, and historical accuracy is contextually bounded.
