Jim,

In SourceWriter I would choose Books> Book, edited> Editor known> Basic format. "William Adams" would go in the "Editor Last Name/Given Name" fields. Hamilton Child, compiler would go in the "Publisher" field. If you have the date and place of publication, often found on the page after the title page, fill that in.

With the information you supplied, the Footnote/Endnote Citation would read:
William Adams, editor, The Gazetteer of Washington County, Vt., 1783-1889, Part First (N.p.: Hamilton Child, complier, n.d.).

I would add a note that the book has been digitized along with the online source of the book either in the Text/Comments or Repository.

The Gazetteer of Washington County, Vt., 1783-1889, Part First, according to the title page, was edited by William Adams and compiled and published by Hamilton Child.

The options I have in the source writer don't allow for such a situation so how do I handle it? Since it is an online image I'm thinking of book, authored (reprint) with two authors, online image. The first author would be Child with a suffix of compiler and publisher and the second would be Adams with a suffix of editor.

Does this sound like a reasonable solution, or is there a better way to handle this? Most online sources just list Child as the author.

Jim
