Fixed link to a video on Articles and Interviews about the Archive page

A link to a 2011 video by University of Nebraska-Lincoln University
Communications, featuring an interview with Ken Price about his
discovery of the scribal documents, was broken. I updated the link,
and the video now plays in most browsers. There is additional
trouble-shooting we need to do to have it viewable in Chrome, but in
other browsers the video can be viewed at

Publicity video in about section now playable

For some time, the 2004 publicity video about the Whitman Archive was
not playing in web browsers. I updated the sitemap to address this
issue, and the video should now play. The video is linked from
http://whitmanarchive.org/about/articles/index.html

Corrected word spelling in correspondence

In an April 2, 1870 letter from Charles Warren Stoddard to Walt Whitman, Stoddard spelled the word "prose" as "proze."  I've updated the transcription accordingly.

Corrected external link on Image Gallery page

The link to the UNL Libraries Digital Collections at the bottom of the
image gallery page (http://whitmanarchive.org/multimedia/gallery.html)
was out of date. I have updated the link

Correspondence added to Whitman Archive

I have added 63 new letters from the Reconstruction and post-Reconstruction periods. The letters are available on the Whitman Archive at http://www.whitmanarchive.org/biography/correspondence/index.html.

Corrected recipient in February 4, 1881 letter

We had previously listed the recipient of a February 4, 1881 letter from Whitman (loc.04291) as Horace Traubel.  Edwin Haviland Miller, in volume 6 of The Correspondence, identifies the recipient of this letter as Horace Howard Furness.  I have corrected the letter to reflect Miller's identification.

Re: Articles About the Archive Migrated to TEI P5

This post is a follow-up on the changelog entry about the migration of
the About the Archive articles to TEI P5. As part of this work, I made
a few corrections, which I neglected to mention in my earlier post:

*I corrected the title of the National Archives video (previously was
titled "New Trove of Walt Whitman Documents Discovered in the National
Archives; "New Trove" was not part of the title, so I deleted those
words). In addition, I updated the link so that it now goes directly
to the relevant video rather than to the National Archives YouTube
channel home.

*I added information to Matt Cohen's essay, "Transgenic Deformation,"
to indicate that it was first published on the Whitman Archive and had
been delivered as a paper at a meeting of the Modern Language
Association.

*I corrected the link to William Pannapacker's essay, The Walt Whitman
Archive: The Body of Work Electric, which previously returned a file
not found error.

Articles About the Archive Migrated to TEI P5

I have migrated the TEI encoding of the Articles about the Archive to
TEI P5 and have published the new versions of the files
(http://whitmanarchive.org/about/articles/index.html). With this
migration, the articles also now have the more recent Archive styling,
including the metadata box at the beginning of each item.

Poems in Periodicals Section Updated

I have migrated the TEI encoding of the Poems In Periodicals section
from TEI P4 to TEI P5. In addition, I have updated the HTML styling of
this section so that it is current with the most recent
decisions/policies of the Whitman Archive.

During the course of this work, I corrected a couple of typographical
errors, pointed out by Matt Cohen:

In per.00005, "After All, Not to Create Only," the typo "frangrance"
was corrected to "fragrance" and the typo "the The States" was
corrected to "The States"

These changes were rolled out on the Whitman Archive on December 3, 2014.

Review of 1881-2 Leaves of Grass added

An anonymous review of the 1881-2 Leaves of Grass published in The American Bookseller on August 1, 1882 (anc.02075) has now been added to the reviews page.  Thanks to Matt Cohen for locating and transcribing this review.
