A TEXT CREATION PARTNERSHIP
Companion |
TCP Staff and Contributors
⇐ Return to main (index) page.
Though mediated through technology, the TCP effort was overwhelmingly human, depending on people to read, interpret, and transcribe the texts; to decide on the granularity of markup and apply it; to review the work of their colleagues; to solicit advice, participation, and contribution (both individual and institutional); to conceive a vision and communicate it; and to manage daily work.
Hopeless as it is to list everyone involved in the conception, promotion, and execution of the TCP project, it would also be remiss of us not to at least attempt to give credit where credit is due. People who filled many roles are usually listed only under one. Anyone accidentally omitted should let us know!
Current staff (2026)
- Paul Schaffner (part-time manager, sometime editor)
