In this collection of short essays, former recipients of the CLIR Mellon Fellowships for Dissertation Research in Original Sources reflect on the diversity of their experience. From 2002 to 2019, more than 250 student-scholars received support from the program to conduct archival research around the world. Former fellows reunited for a symposium in 2022 to offer perspectives on the future of scholarly work with original sources. Seven of the fellows worked to refine and contextualize contributions to the event’s program for a wider audience. Presented in five chapters, the collection explores the diversity of approaches to archival research in the humanities and humanistic social sciences; the potential narratives that original sources can support; how archives can enhance undergraduate teaching; current challenges and threats facing researchers working with archives; and the uncertain prospects for future archival research.
