19th-Century Concord Digital Archive (CDA)

Citation: Texas A&M University. 19th-Century Concord Digital Archive (CDA). https://digitalconcord.tamu.edu/.
Section on webpage: Decolonizing Archives, Digitized Collections, and Digital Humanities
Tenets: Concern with materiality (bodies, labor, not just virtual and discursive).
Annotation: The Concord Digital Archive invites the scholar to utilize a broad set of digital documents to reconsider how the town and its writers are situated within broader scholarly conversations. A host of important American writers have ties to the city, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, Margaret Fuller, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Louisa May Alcott, and Bronson Alcott. These authors interacted with groups less frequently recorded in textual documents of the time period: free African-Americans, Irish immigrants, the poor, and the criminal class. The interaction between these groups appears, upon inspection of the documents projected to be included in the archive, far more complex than that represented by current scholarship.
