Abstract
This afterword takes up the ideas explored through the case studies and advances an argument for an expanded understanding of what literary papers are and can do. It suggests that the insights generated in the case studies via attention to the materiality of the page can be extended to form the basis of productive and novel ways of engaging with archived literary papers more generally. The afterword thus highlights the importance of developing an orientation to ‘thinking through paper’.
