Recovery scholarship often uses digital methods to bring to light histories and literary, artistic, and cultural traditions that have been ignored, forgotten, or pushed to the margins by established educational and cultural institutions. This work requires new modes of engagement, collaboration, publishing, and shared stewardship and access.
