title = "Digital Newspapers, Material Knowledge: Grappling with the TimesMachine digital archive as a repository of knowledge",
abstract = "This article explores the functionality and character of the TimesMachine, the digital archive of the New York Times, as it relates to research in the history of knowledge and history of education. The TimesMachine was designed specifically to improve the accessibility and contextualization of digital newspapers. However, the fog of digitization still complicates how researchers can (and should) use these digitized newspapers as sources of knowledge. Using the TimesMachine as a case study, this article aims to contribute to current conversations regarding the possibilities and limitations of digital archives and to demonstrate the importance of digital literacy for historians. There are several takeaways from this article that can help researchers make informed methodological choices in their pursuit of history, including the re-centering of materiality in the digital space and the integration of interdisciplinary and digital methods in the history of knowledge.",
