As Erasmus implies, we cannot detach technical concerns from the aes-thetic, symbolic, and hermeneutic dimensions of textual work, and his preoccupation with unseen complexity takes visual form in Figure 1. This image shows what lies beneath the main reading room in the New York Public Library’s Central Building at 5th Avenue and 42nd Street, an icon of cultural heritage. The illustration comes from the cover of an issue of ./0-(102/&34-%0/$(5#-+./0!)C5Y<)5C:F05:j)15 7!)5*)&5+-/.C/*E5(#)*)C5 7(57!)5#-+./25/*5NKNN'5\!)5E)*1)50!(-.C5+)5B:3/./:15k5:51)#1)0)*7:7/(*5(B57!)5inner workings of an interface between readers and a massive collection of texts, using a visualization technique (the cutaway view) to make the unseen mechanism intelligible to non-specialists. In the reading room at the top, patrons and librarians use a system of catalogues, request slips, and pneumatic tubes to order books housed in the stacks below. The books, once located, ascend to the reading room via mini-elevator. We can also read a foreshadowing of the digital humanities’ open-access ethos here, too, since this union of aesthetics and machinery serves a public library.

But ./0-(102/&34-%0/$(’s tribute to 2(&"-&506/7- design and engineering also illuminates anxieties about what lies beneath it. The image embodies the kind of metaphor for archiving that Thomas Richards uses to describe the symbolic importance of the British Museum at the data-collecting height of the British Empire, and especially its basement as a chaotic space that was symptomatic of the material pressures of data overload SZ/2!:1C05 NKKU$5 P8NOT'5 \!)5 07:2,05 +)*):7!5 7!)59)&5o(1,5R-+./25^/+1:1F5reading room emphasize a volume of information that, as a totality, goes unseen by its users.

The Human Presence in Digital Artefacts N?Lrithm within the UNESCO document’s cumbersome URL is to understand the contextualizing system, just as the ./0-(102/&34-%0/$( illustration makes a point of revealing the system that humans normally cannot see (at least without a wrecking ball). When reading digital artefacts, textual scholars might question the conventional wisdom that the only good interface is a transparent one.

Although Cum-mings accurately describes XML’s advantages over HTML for the encoding of born-digital documents like academic articles, his description becomes deeply problematic when applied to the encoding of non-digital materi-als like manuscript poems (he takes many of his examples from Chaucer). Cummings’s explanation overlooks the crucial distinction between pre-scribing presentational details and recording them — a non-trivial distinc-7/(*5/*57)]7-:.502!(.:10!/#D5&!/2!50):12!)05B(157!)5!-3:*571:2)05.)j5-#(*5material artefacts.25

The search for human presence in digital artefacts is also the search for the humanities’ place in digital scholarship. Both searches are underway even as the design of digital tools is moving in one direction while the theo-ries of textual scholarship are moving in another. Digital humanists caught between the tensions described in this essay should be wary of two species (B57!)50:3)5)00)*7/:./075B:..:2F$5(*)D5#)1#)7-:7)C5+F57!)(1/0705&/7!5(*.F5:5021))*8C))#5-*C)107:*C/*E5(B5 7)2!*/2:.53:")10D5:00)1705 7!:75C/E/7:.5 7)]705:1)5/*!)1)*7.F5-*07:+.)5S#1(C-27/<).F5(15(7!)1&/0)Tc57!)5(7!)1D5#)1#)7-:7)C5by computing practitioners who neglect theory, asserts that that the only aspects of texts worth knowing are those which may be modelled digitally. Screen essentialism thus has its counterpart in computational essentialism, and digital textual scholars must somehow navigate between the two. The challenge is to design interface tools that do not force business or (social) science models upon humanists. This step involves developing traditions of programming native to the humanities, and recognizing that program-ming and computer science are not the same thing.U? A further challenge is to determine how designing and prototyping, as keystones of the experi-mental tradition within the digital humanities, should relate to the archival and historical strengths of textual scholarship.

Although interface is by no means the only important aspect of digital tex-tuality, it is the area where such a synthesis is most needed. The response of textual studies should therefore be more strategic than simply pointing out when computing practitioners do not understand humanities materi-als. For a text encoder working under a computer science model to treat data as extricable from their presentation is consistent with best practice. For a literary scholar to treat texts as inextricable from their presentation

Just as Kirschenbaum rightly questions the easy binary that produces digital texts as unstable, so must we also be vigilant against the myth that, with the rise of digital technology, the human record is now moving from a period of fundamen-tal stability to one of instability. As print- and manuscript-oriented textual scholars have long argued, past textual forms were never so immutable to begin with.UN Textual scholarship may be the contrarian voice within the digital humanities, resisting those progress narratives which, in order to justify investments in tool-building, make texts computationally tractable +F50:21/Y2/*E57!)/152(3#.)]/7F5(*57!)5:.7:15(B5)]#)C/)*2F'5\!)50)1/(-0507-CF5(B5C/E/7:.5:17)B:2705C()05*(751)#.:2)57!:75(B5#1)8C/E/7:.53:7)1/:.0c51:7!)1D57!)5two must progress together or not at all.
