THE HITCHCOCK TRANSCRIPTIONS
Edward Hitchcock published
nearly fifty books in his lifetime
totaling some five million words. But
his unpublished writings may well have
exceeded his published works. They
include sermons, letters, travel
diaries, teaching and field notes,
essays, and poems. Most are held in
the Amherst College Archives and
Special Collections. A few are in the
collections of the Henry N. Flynt
Library at Historic Deerfield and
Pockumtuck Valley Memorial Association
in Deerfield.

In the course of
his research for All
the Light Here Comes from Above,
author Robert T. McMaster transcribed many
of Edward Hitchcock's unpublished works.
Using voice-to-text software, he dictated
each manuscript into a word processing
document, then reread and proofed it.
Most of those
transcriptions are now available for
reading, downloading, and research
purposes. We only ask that the source be
cited including the archive where the
original manuscript is held. Some or all
of the transcriptions will eventually be
available through the Amherst College
Archives at acdc.amherst.edu.
