Since then, researchers and archivists have experimented with innovative interfaces for access to writer\u2019s archives that emerge from individual research cultures and practices. Simultaneously, archives such as the British Archive for Contemporary Writing (BACW) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) are beginning to collect the work of authors who work in inventive digital ways. This article will therefore explore the following question: how might archivists, authors and researchers profitably collaborate to explore the nature of creativity in the born-digital archive, so that both digital preservation and digital scholarship take place? In doing so, the authors look to the complementary fields of genetic criticism and digital humanities to inform the development of archival tools as \u2018hermeneutical instruments\u2019. They will explore how such instruments might allow us to read horizontally across archival strata, building on an \u2018esthetic of the possible\u2019 to develop a \u2018jouer avec les fonds\u2019, supported through collaboration between researchers, archivists and writers. Finally, the authors consider how this approach challenges archival practices, and propose forms of collaboration that might address both archival practice and emerging forms of scholarship.","affiliations":["University of East Anglia","University of Glasgow"],"author":"Paul Gooding; Jos Smith; Justine Mann","cited_by":28,"cited_by_api_url":"","date":2019,"doi":"10.1080/01576895.2019.1608837","figure_captions":[],"figure_urls":[],"full_date":"2019-08-11T00:00:00Z","identifiers":{"doi":"10.1080/01576895.2019.1608837","pmcid":"","pmid":"","url":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01576895.2019.1608837"},"journal":"Archives and Manuscripts","language":"en-US","page":"374-390","source":"OpenAlex","table_captions":[],"title":"The forensic imagination: interdisciplinary approaches to tracing creativity in writers\u2019 born-digital archives","type":"article","volume":"47","word_count":"568-611"},"participants":[],"populations":[],"prevalence":[],"processes":[],"reference_links":[],"sections":{"future_work":[],"limitations":[]},"species":[],"statistics":[],"structured_content":[],"structured_summary":{},"study_features":{"snapshot_conclusions":[],"snapshot_methods":[],"snapshot_results":[]},"summary":[],"unstructured_content":null}
