Digital Humanities projects that aim to recover texts or authors are the most “alive” when they are under construction, in medias res, and a mess. That is, in the middle stages of production, digital projects circulate with the greatest audience engagement because they invite scholars to think about and manipulate data, structures, and interfaces from within to fix problems or augment existing content in meaningful ways. The advantage that digital scholarship has over print, in this context, is that it can remain in an un-done productive state for a long time, even during and beyond peer-review.
This talk will discuss methodologies for promoting critical thought and recovery from within a digital object in the context of an ongoing Digital Humanities project I direct called The Stainforth Library of Women's Writing. You can visit the Stainforth project at http://www.stainforth.colorado.edu.
