180330 Library 493

Clara Craig, the university's first research librarian made this notation the book "Widow Bedott Papers" by Frances Whitcher. The basement of Love Library north filled with hunters looking to document interesting bits of history in handwritten margin notes, photographs and other objects. Crowd-sourced digital humanities project, Book Traces. The event was led by Peter Capuano, associate professor of English and director of the 19th-century studies program, and Andrew Stauffer of the University of Virginia and founder of Book Traces. Book Traces lets everyone become a digital humanist and aims to identify and document the unique marginalia and items left by readers long ago, and engage the question of the future of the print record in the wake of wide-scale digitization.
