The DHNB2026 conference, “Lost in Abundance: Encounters with the Non-Canonical”, aimed to foster fresh and critical approaches to uncovering overlooked literary trends, forgotten visual drifts, unconventional historical records, and other underrepresented cultural products. How might digital humanities guide us through this abundant yet underexplored landscape? What insights, challenges, and questions emerge when we re-direct our attention from canonical towards underexplored, neglected, or scattered data? The conference took place March 9–13, 2026, at Aarhus University, Denmark. The conference book of abstract were edited by Krista Stinne Greve Rasmussen, Jon Tafdrup, Kirsten Vad, and Katja Gottlieb (Aarhus University). Cover design by Line Ejby Sørensen.
