1 The Dorothy Howard Collection: Revealing the Structures of Folklore Archives in Museums Mike Jones , Kate Darian-Smith , Deborah Tout-Smith , Gavan McCarthy , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Archives and Manuscripts , vol. 45 no. 2 2017; (p. 100-117)

'In 2015–16 researchers from the University of Melbourne and Museums Victoria undertook a collaborative project which sought to visualise archival data from the museum as a means to investigate the structure and context of the Dorothy Howard Collection. This article introduces Dorothy Howard’s work, which is part of the internationally significant Australian Children’s Folklore Collection, and looks at the project’s processes and outcomes, including the initial visualisations produced. In doing so, the authors highlight the data-intensive nature of such work, suggest the potential of visualisations to reveal collection structures, and outline possibilities for future projects and collaborations.'
