2025 RGME Autumn Colloquium (IN PERSON): Workshop 1 (21 November at 1:30pm)

By invitation, this special 2025 Autumn Colloquium brings the RGME tradition of hybrid events to Princeton University and Special Collections at Firestone Library.

Plan for the Workshops

With the presentations and related activities planned for this event, "Break-Up Books" meet "Make-Up Books". The special Workshops are designed to compliment the sessions devoted to explorations of the phenomena of widely dispersed remnants of dismembered manuscripts and other written materials scattered at the hands of Otto F. Ege (1888-1951)and other biblioclasts, for a variety of purposes more and less laudable.

The sessions showcase work being done in various centers and by many individuals on these materials, as part of long-term, laborious, significant, and sometimes dispersed research, which seeks to identify, reclaim, and insofar as possibly, virtually reconstrict the originals and place them in context. The Workshops exhibit some original materials in Special Collections of Princeton University Library, guided by Eric M. White, Sheide Librarian and Assistant University Librarian for Special Collections, Rare Books, and Manuscripts.
