Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford (1717 – 1797), better known as Horace Walpole, was an English writer, art historian, man of letters, antiquarian, and Whig politician. The Yale Edition of Horace Walpole's Correspondence Editorial Project Records document the full scope of the publication effort over its nearly fifty-year span. Series I, Administrative Records ranges from agreements with Yale University Press, style guides, and editorial exemplars, to the office door sign that hung in the hallway in Yale University Library. Also present are the records of the two Yale Edition celebrations, one held in 1973 for the project's fortieth anniversary, and one in 1983 for the project's completion. Series II, Editorial Documents, contains material in a variety of formats to show the methods employed during the project: autograph manuscript and typescript texts, printed galleys, and page proofs for both the letters and the volume indexes. Also here are a few letters between Wilmarth Lewis and the project's dozen other editors, as well as correspondence with foreign research associates, particularly those in Italy who assisted with the Horace Mann letters. The bulk of the series concerns the Mann-Walpole correspondence, which was edited primarily by George L. Lam and Warren Hunting Smith and published in eleven volumes between 1954 and 1971; their transcriptions and notes were specifically marked for retention because some of their research had not been incorporated into their published work.
