Traces in the Stacks: Professor Andrew Stauffer, University of Virginia
September 11, 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Room 117A, Ekstrom Library; Free
Join us to hunt for traces of 19th century readers—autographs, doodling, souvenir, and other ephemeral inserts. We will spend 45 minutes in the stacks, looking for evidence of 19th century readers, then will meet to share our discoveries. Prof. Stauffer has found that many libraries contain books with important markers of human experience and sentiment. This unique record is being lost to history with digitization. He has discovered more than 700 books with traces.
