Parker Library Symposium


Parker Library Symposium
On 6 - 7 September 2007, the Parker Library ("one of the most important small collections of English medieval manuscripts ever assembled") is hosting a Symposium on the topics of preservation ? digitisation ? scholarship ? public access.

The symposium will include papers within all three areas, at their widest interpretation, including library history, conservation, digitisation and its application, new discoveries and directions in medieval manuscript scholarship, and the benefits or problems of access to some of the most precious illuminated manuscripts in existence.
