This book takes a novel, data-driven approach to the cemeteries of Paris, analyzing a largely text-based body of archival material as proxy evidence for visual material that has been lost due to systematic, and legally sanctioned, acts of erasure. This study represents the first full-length study of vernacular monuments in France and the entrepreneurs who made them. It also provides methodical considerations, at the intersection of the computational and digital humanities for managing survival biases in extant historical evidence, that are applicable beyond the thematic focus of this book. Since extant examples of these more inconspicuous monuments are rare, this project employs both distant and close viewing—analyzing commercial almanacs, work logs, and burial records in aggregates alongside detailed case studies—to compensate for gaps in the material record. The book will be of interest to scholars working in visual culture, popular culture, digital humanities, and French history.

Libraries and archives are liminal spaces between what once was and what might be remembered.This edited collection explores this dynamic through international case studies, theoretical discussions and practical guidance, considering how these spaces activate moments of grief through preservation and documentation. Drawing on cultural, personal and literary perspectives, this volume examines grief across temporalities and the ephemerality of digital and material memory spaces. This is an essential study that deftly shows how archival practice, critical librarianship and the digital humanities can transform the ways communities preserve memory, process loss and find meaning in the aftermath of grief.
