Abstract
Abstract:Scholars have long acknowledged the potential of digital archives to transform periodical studies, but archives represent only a fraction of the research possibilities that multimodal tools offer for teaching, learning about, and researching nineteenth-century periodicals. This paper uses two case studies to show how multimodal digital projects, such as creating videos and infographics, can enhance learning and immerse novice researchers in nineteenth-century periodicals. The more that these digital opportunities are integrated through classroom pedagogies and assignments, the more researchers of all abilities can learn from and help to shape the next iterations of nineteenth-century periodicals research.
