讲座简介
In Australia in the 19th century, newspapers were the main source of fiction, local and imported. In the 21st century, the National Library of Australia's Trove database hosts the largest open-access, mass-digitized collection of historical newspapers internationally. Bringing these two technological systems together makes possible the discovery of a growing, transnational collection of over 27,000 publications of novels, novellas and short stories in early Australian newspapers. With reference to this expansive record of fiction in Australia and Australian fiction, this paper poses some questions relevant to historical, literary, and cultural research in the mass-digitised age including: What we can learn about literary history with large amounts of data? How can we create, and what does it mean to manage, substantial digital literary infrastructure? And how can we open this infrastructure up to the public, for crowdsourcing, and to create new publics for and participants in literary history?
