NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON’T: SUSTAINABLE ACCESS IN A DIGITAL AGE

WEDNESDAY 7 FEBRUARY 2024, 17:00-18:30 GMT/14:00-15:30 EST

The interruption in digital services at the British Library has called into question our reliance on online systems to consult medieval manuscripts. in an unexpected twist, the cyber attack simultaneously put the physical manuscripts at the British Library out of reach also. This timely conversation will reflect on the current situation, offering perspectives on sustainability and how we might rethink our practices after this startling reminder of the ephemeral nature of the digital.

Speakers will include Benjamin Albritton, Stewart J. Brookes, Stephen G. Nichols, Suzanne Paul, Dot Porter, Andrew Prescott, and Elaine Treharne

Moderated by Laura Morreale

Organized by Digital Medievalsit and kindly hosted online by the Centre for the Study of Book, Bodleian Libraries
