• Resumen

  • This essay examines why online availability should not be conflated with accessibility in discussions of the digital humanities and medieval studies. Expert-oriented projects and discussions of the digital humanities in medieval Iberian studies tend to get “lost in collation.” These projects lose sight of the promises of democratization and accessibility that the digital humanities community values in favor of the traditional demands of philology.
