Massive digital archives such as the Internet Archive offer researchers tantalising possibilities for the recovery of forgotten and neglected literary texts. Yet the reality can be very frustrating due to limitations in the design of the archives and the tools available for exploring them. This programme supports researchers in understanding the issues and developing practical methods for delving into massive digital archives.
Aims
This programme aims to develop researcher knowledge, capacity and confidence in using massive digital archives for literary history research.
Objectives
To develop an overview and critical understanding of literary scholarship that has used digital recovery methods.
To practise and further develop productive practical techniques for delving into massive digital archives.
To consider critical and ethical perspectives on the nature of digital archives and the tools currently available for using them.
Eligibility
This programme is open to graduate students and staff at the University of Cambridge. PhD students and Early Career Researchers have priority for the scheme, but applications from MPhil students are welcome to apply.
