Paper has been the material of bureaucracy, and paperwork performs functions of order, control, and surveillance. This book explores how those functions transform over time, allowing private challenges to the public narratives created by institutions and governments. The contributors to this volume discuss the ways in which public and private institutions – asylums, hospitals, and armies – developed bureaucratic systems which have determined the parameters of our access to the past.
