Accessibility vs. access: How the rhetoric of “rare” is changing in the age
of information abundance » Nieman Journalism Lab
Over the past few years, the fledgling field of the digital humanities has
made significant strides with a number of ambitious digitization
projects bringing online rare cultural artifacts — manuscripts, canvases,
celluloid, marginalia — that used to rot away in institutional archives. But
while these efforts, both government-subsidized and privately initiated, may
have made a wealth of information accessible, it’s an entirely different
story to ask how many people these materials have reached — how many people
have actually gained access to them — and it’s one that harks back to the
shifting relationship between scarcity and value.
