Dear Accumulated Wisdom: I'm starting to index a large collection of essays that I've edited. This will be my first indexing job and I've read all the "required texts," including the Chicago Manual of Style chapter on indexing and the wonderful book by Nancy Mulvany. I feel ready--and have done some preliminary work--but I'm finding that each of the essays is so different, it's difficult to decide what not to index. For example, many essays include paragraphs that list things without really talking about any of them individually, e.g., rare items in the collection, or curatorial departments of the museum, or different publications or Web sites or whatever. All of this is good information in the context of the essay, but unless a particular item is actually discussed, I'm not sure I should index it. In any event, if I index all of these individual items, the index will be too long and my publisher has told me there is a limit and it will have to be cut if it exceeds the maximum length. So I do have to come up with some general rules--don't I? If you have experience in editing a collection of papers, I would love to hear from you within the next few days. Many thanks.
