TAIME Authors, 1872 to 1885
Biographical Research Process:
- Initial material was taken from Vol. 14 of TAIME (marked 1885). However, pages 10 & 11 are missing. Because the scanning was inaccurate, not all of the name spellings are correct (among other details) so part of this process is to compare editions and figure out the real names.
- Second pass was taken from hardcopy Vol. 23, marked 1893. This enabled me to check against what I had seen in Vol. 14.
Next steps:
- Next I will go to the individual volumes and look for information on the authors that I wasn’t able to find in these two sources. I will use the EXCEL spreadsheet to do this, and correct any mistakes I’ve found along the way. This sheet will continue to change because of the many misspellings in the PDFs. I will use name searches (for instance, using a first name if I suspect the last name is misspelled) and other just techniques to try to track down the last empty data cells.
- After I do that, I will probably take another one of my later hardcover TAIMES and look for more missing people or death dates.
- Then I will use Misa’s index to get specifics about some of the people.
- Then I will use Gorgon’s book to get specifics about others.
- Then I will use the internet to get what I was unable to get from those sources. I do this last because a) if anyone has a name that is at all ordinary, it is impossible to find information about them on the internet and 2) sometimes you find too much and get sidetracked.
Notes:
I am correlating the volume number to the year with a broad brush – there is no way to do it exactly (the meetings they cover span at least a year before the publication, if not more, and we don’t know the exact dates of the publications even though they are assigned a year – that may more may not be true) – and thus there will be some overlap. The approximate year is good for figuring out who was doing what when.
Until Vol. 13, dates were not listed for membership start year.
Note: Vol. 2 is missing pages 10 & 11.
