The Congregational Library and Archives sponsored this talk on March 18, 2024.
From the description: “In this talk, four leading historians of English, Scottish, and American libraries reveal diverse ways that library history can illuminate different facets of the past. All are co-investigators on the recent major Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) grant entitled, “Libraries, Reading Communities, and Cultural Formation in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic,” which is launching a major new web resource in early 2024 that features fully searchable membership lists, catalogues, and borrowing records from more than eighty libraries across the Anglophone Atlantic.”
