Dr Joseph P Reidy . an assistant prolessor in the history department at How .ml
University, was recently awarded the J franklin Jameson Prize lor his work as one
o f Ihc editors o f "T he Black Military Experience" (Cambridge University. 19X2)
Reidy shared the prize along with two other editors ol ihc volume which was ihc
first published in a projected 10-volume series, "Freedom A Documentary
History o f Emancipation. 1X61 1X67 "
The prize is awarded by the American Hislonc.il Association every live years
Tor outstanding achievement in the field ol historical editing
" The Black Military Experience" chronicles the lives ot black soldiers during
the C ivil War era. using materials from the National Archives which dociiiiienl the
soldiers' writings and recordings ot that lime
Reidy is also one ot the editors ol a second "Freedom
volume recently
published by Cambridge University Press, entitled "Ihe Destruction ot Slavery
It prevents a diKumeniary record ot the transformation ot the C iv il War into a war
against slavery, and the slaves' role in their own emancipation
In 1976, the Erecdmcn and Southern Society Project, led by University ot
Mary land historian Ira Berlin, began to explore the possibility ot writing a history
o f emancipation from the perspective ot ihe emancipated I or three years, the stall
o f the project worked in a vault at the National Archives searching through
thousands o f boxes and volumes
From the millions o f documents examined
most of them prev musly unknown
to scholars — they selected, catalogued and indexed some 40,000 which they
believed would tell the story o f emancipation Ihe richness ol their findings led
them to decide to make their history o f emanc ipation a documentary history I he
arranging, transcribing and annotating ol the material shaped the project's primary
selections into a comprehensive history
a multivolume formal that would allow
for a lu ll examination ot the complex w xial transformation that accompanied
emancipation The result is the "F reedom " series
In addition to Joseph Reidy and Ira Berlin, other editors o f the "Freedom "
senes are Barbara J Fields o f (he University ol Michigan. Thavoha (ilym ph ol the
University o f Texas at Arlington, and Leslie S Rowland o f Ihe University ol
