In a groundbreaking initiative, Rachel Bryant Davies and Erin Johnson-Williams, alongside a distinguished cohort of scholars, embark on an interdisciplinary exploration of the intricate power dynamics that have shaped the nineteenth-century archive. Their aim is to provoke thought-provoking questions about the very definition of a nineteenth-century archive, broadening our understanding of its significance. This remarkable collection of essays delves into the profound impact of the complex discourses of power inherent in the construction of the archive during this transformative era. Spanning various disciplinary perspectives, the authors address pressing concerns regarding the handling of potentially sensitive nineteenth-century archival materials within academic scholarship and contemporary public-facing institutions, which often perpetuate erotic, colonial, imperial, racist, sexist, violent, or elitist ideologies. Through their diverse contributions, the essays offer a multi-faceted examination of these issues, drawing from fields such as musicology, classics, English, history, visual culture, and museums and archives. The outcome is a comprehensive historical excavation of archival experiences, shedding light on the profound ways in which power structures have shaped our understanding of the past. This seminal work will undoubtedly inspire scholars and researchers alike, as it contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities and nuances of the nineteenth-century archive and its enduring influence on knowledge construction.
