How can we improve the diversity of archival collections with AI? Opportunities, risks, and solutions
This article is the first study to examine the impact (positive and negative) of Artificial Intelligence on the diversity of archival collections. Representing the diverse audiences they serve is a key objective for libraries and archives. For example, institutions with colonial-era archival documents are experimenting with AI to improve the discoverability of their collections and to enhance access for source communities and other users. Indeed,…
AI to review government records
This article presents ground-breaking new work on AI applied to the government records of the Cabinet Office, in order to automatically identify historically significant records to preserve and other records that can be deleted. The Cabinet Office is the UK central government department that supports the Prime Minister in the effective running of government. Its records are among the most important that are deposited in The National Archives, cov…
Introduction
Sensitivity and Access
In recent decades, archival institutions have digitized an enormous quantity of material under the rubric of open access, including from colonial archives. However, much of the most sensitive material from these collections remains undigitized or difficult to discover and use. More recently, a critical reconsideration of open digital access has also taken place, particularly when it comes to sensitive material from the colonial archive. Collectiv…
AI and Medical Images
This article examines the ethical considerations and broader issues around access to digitised historical medical images. These illustrations and, later, photographs are often extremely sensitive, representing disability, disease, gender, and race in potentially harmful and problematic ways. In particular, the original metadata for such images can include demeaning and sometimes racist terms. Some of these images show sexually explicit and violen…
Introduction to the Special Issue
This Special Issue focuses on the theme of Using Visual AI Applied to Digital Archives. It seeks to improve the discoverability, accessibility, and use of digitised cultural archives by working at the crossroads between the humanities (including visual studies, history, and ethics), computer science, and other fields (including information and archival studies). This special issue is an invitation to work collaboratively, across disciplines and s…
Technology and Literature
Whereas previous books have explored how literature depicts or discusses scientific concepts, this book argues that literature is a technology. It shows how literature has been shaped by technological revolutions, and reveals the essential work that literature has done in helping to uncover the consequences of new technologies. Individual chapters focus on how specific literary technologies – the development of writing, the printing press, typewr…
Unlocking digital archives
Co-authored by a Computer Scientist and a Digital Humanist, this article examines the challenges faced by cultural heritage institutions in the digital age, which have led to the closure of the vast majority of born-digital archival collections. It focuses particularly on cultural organizations such as libraries, museums and archives, used by historians, literary scholars and other Humanities scholars. Most born-digital records held by cultural o…

How can we make born-digital and digitised archives more accessible? Identifying obstacles and solutions
Access to data is seen as a key priority today. Yet, the vast majority of digital cultural data preserved in archives is inaccessible due to privacy, copyright or technical issues. Emails and other born-digital collections are often uncatalogued, unfindable and unusable. In the case of documents that originated in paper format before being digitised, copyright can be a major obstacle to access. To solve the problem of access to digital archives, …
Diversity and Entrepreneurialism
This article examines the evolution of PN Review, a leading Manchester-based poetry magazine, in relation to second-wave feminism in the 1970s and 1980s. Largely funded by the Arts Council of Great Britain, the magazine was initially not a welcoming place for female poets and contributors. Women's poetry was often disparaged, and few women contributed to the magazine. From the early 1980s, however, PN Review started to include more women voices-a…

From New York to Shanghai
This article focuses on the international expansion of modern literature in the early twentieth century through the examples of cheap reprint series published in the United States (the Modern Library), Britain (the Phoenix Library), and Continental Europe (Albatross). Since these series published all kinds of texts (‘high’, ‘low’, and ‘middlebrow’), ‘modern literature’ is defined broadly, to include difficult modernist texts and popular literatur…
Cheap Modernism
Cheap Modernism is the first sustained account of cheap series of reprints that transformed literary modernism from a little-read movement into a mainstream phenomenon – in Britain, Continental Europe and elsewhere. Mrs Dalloway or A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man are often presented as difficult books, originally published in small print runs for a handful of readers. But from the mid-1920s, these texts and others were available in cheap …
Cold War Modernists
Subversive Middlebrow
In 1944, Macmillan launched Kathleen Winsor’s racy first novel Forever Amber with an advertising budget of nearly $27,000. Forever Amber can be seen as an example of “the feminine middlebrow novel” (Humble), a kind of commercial fiction largely written and consumed by middle-class women. The immense success of both the novel and the $6,375,000 movie adaptation met with active resistance from conservative groups in the US and in Canada. In 1946, W…
