Session Information
Description: While powerful, positivist recovery work—efforts to fill gaps and hear silenced voices—has theoretically and materially expanded early American studies, the archive remains yet and always incomplete. Panelists showcase innovative approaches that model new responses to biased archives and work around, across, or beside missing or marginalized records.
