CONGRESS CANCELED Manuscript Fragments in Small Collections (A Roundtable)

Medieval Institute, Western Michigan University

Description

This roundtable focuses on the challenges of working within collections where fragment holdings outnumber codices. How can we best contextualize fragments, single leaves, and cuttings? What resources exist for teaching with such collections, and what strategies best exploit collections of fragments? This roundtable invites papers that consider a variety of perspectives: researcher, teacher, archivist, librarian. Panelists might consider, among other things, speaking about resources and support for cataloguing and digitizing fragment collections.
