Volume 43 amply represents the editorial board’s interest in resuscitating, sustaining, and investigating eclectic, understudied materials. Readers will discover digital humanities innovations, critical bibliography insights, pioneering methods to foster student professionalization, novel analyses of performance art, and wide-ranging conversations about the contested nature of the archives, collective memory, the arts, technology, community, and Afrofuturism. They will encounter meeting minutes produced as forms of aggregated social action, the re-constellation of foundling hospital archives through volunteer researchers’ affective engagement, and new technologies that extract and remediate understudied genres characterized by tabular data—including directories, census lists, inventories, and other other legal documents—to amplify suppressed and misrepresented histories. Finally, readers can enjoy the website’s freshly envisioned aesthetic appearance and technical stack—conceived as extensions of the journal’s ongoing commitment to public accessibility, open-source knowledge creation, and expansive view of textual scholarship and recovery as meaning-makers.
