ORIGINAL SOURCES
A Brown Bag Lunch and Conversation Series

In the 21st-century university, scholars, artists, and students are using original sources – manuscripts, drawings, photographs, and other objects – in new and unprecedented ways. How do different disciplines define and approach original sources? What inspires researchers and artists to make use of original sources? How are new technologies transforming the ways original sources are used? How do libraries and archives provide access and support for new uses of original sources? Come and join a discussion with scholars, librarians, archivists, technologists, teaching consultants, and others.
