<snip>Humanities scholars rarely talk about their failures.
Publications and promotion depend on making discoveries in the
archives, not losing one’s way in them. But as researchers try to
recover lives and experiences absent from the official record, they

what they’re in search of. And digital-era scholars with a world of
information at their fingertips don’t always have the patience or the
know-how to pick through the idiosyncratic records of the past.<snip>
