I'm taking a course in book indexing.

Like, I'm learning how to make indexes like this one:

Before, I always assumed indexes were just compiled by a computer.

But nope. It turns out every index is made by a person who has to read the book word-for-word, understand all of it, and create a mind map that lays out the main ideas and themes of the book to make them accessible to the reader.

As far as I can tell, every book about how to index is out-of-print. Indexing is a necessary task in the publishing world, but there just aren't that many people who do it.

This is by far the most obscure branch of knowledge I've ever studied, and that makes me feel like I've gotten into some arcane wizard nonsense.

One of the big questions for beginners is whether to index a cookbook recipe called, say, "Grilled Chicken and Brown Rice" like this:

poultry

Grilled Chicken and Brown Rice

or like this:

chicken recipes

Grilled Chicken and Brown Rice

or like this:

chicken

grilled

Grilled Chicken and Brown Rice

or just simply as:

Grilled Chicken and Brown Rice

etc, etc. These are "main headings" versus "subheadings," and it's up to the indexer to decide what would be most intuitive to the reader.

They need to make entries simultaneously easy to find both for readers who've never read the book before, like busy, tired parents who just got home from work and might be looking up easy chicken recipes real quick, and for readers who remember that very dope chicken recipe and recall precisely what its name was.

Main headings versus subheadings can also be political. In my class we just indexed a text about Indigenous children who were abused by Canadian missionary schools. There was a debate as to whether or not every named child should be listed in the index as a gesture of respect to them and their families. The professor finally jumped in and gave a rare definitive answer: Yes.

In Facing the Text by Do Mi Stauber, Stauber cautions against using too many subheadings:

"[The book's ideas] felt to me like little orphans needing to shelter under a main heading, but they really were grown children whose relationship to labor revitalization did not need stating."

I'm not going anywhere with this, tbc. Just giving you a glimpse into the fact that every index you've ever seen was 100% more likely to have been made by a curious, engaged reader who considered the book's ideas to be her children than by a computer.
