The Workshop in the History of Material Texts will celebrate its 25th year in 2017-18. Participants (including faculty, librarians, graduate students, booksellers and anyone else interested) come from a wide range of disciplines; all are welcome to attend. The usual format of the workshop is a presentation of approximately thirty minutes, followed by discussion, based if possible on handouts or other visual materials. Unless noted otherwise, meetings will be held on Mondays at 5:15 in the Class of 1978 Pavilion, in the Kislak Center for Special Collections on the 6th floor of the Van Pelt-Dietrich Library Center.
