Andrea Alpago (and it’s Browne, not Harvey annotating!)

Thank you so much!! I'm very excited to see what you've found...

Oh this is very tantalising to hear!!

Here’s @drallotment.bsky.social & @mattsymonds.bsky.social talking about EBDO, @fredschurink.bsky.social talking about CEBEME, and @annalujz.bsky.social who has been instrumental to both projects, on our final DH panel. Very excited to play with both data sets over the coming weeks! #BuiltWithBooks

Here is Ted Simonds from @lampallib.bsky.social talking about
Sion College Library’s donors. His research is piecing together stories of people & books, both on & off the pages of the Book of Benefactors, and emphasised (for me!) how much bookish networks overlapped in the period. #BuiltWithBooks

Here is Joe Nankivell from @tcdlibrary.bsky.social talking about his very exciting project to digitally reconstruct the library of François Fagel. I think everyone in the audience left eager to play with his website, & wondering whether they could make their own digital bookshelves… #BuiltWithBooks

Here is @biblioraphic.bsky.social talking about evidence of how the Cotton Library was bound (red, green, blue, black, ancient and archival bindings!). There are Cotton MSS in my own research, so I’m very excited to learn more from Raphaëlle/ask her millions of questions #BuiltWithBooks

So pleased you enjoyed it Matilda, hope our paths cross again soon!

Here is @ellenwerner.bsky.social giving a fantastic paper about two Manchester apothecaries whose reading she is tracing through their books at @chethamslibrary.bsky.social. I obviously love early modern books and reading, but as a northerner myself, I find Ellen’s research particularly satisfying!

I had put *far* too much time into designing the programmes and conference bookmarks (zero regrets). As we prepared for people to arrive on day one we were tracking the printing order via FedEx. Cannot describe the relief and excitement I felt opening this box during the first panel… #BuiltWithBooks

I didn’t take many photos but here are a few... If you were there, do share any you have in the thread too! ⬇️ #BuiltWithBooks

I have thesis books in Chetham’s and parents not far from Manchester so I will definitely let you know if I’m around! Also, I know your whole supervisory team and they are amazing, you’re going to have such a good time.

Such exciting news, welcome to the UK - if you’re ever in London and fancy a coffee let me know!

☺️

Ah this would be amazing thank you, would love to hear whatever you know about Arabic books! And thank you for very kind words, I’m so pleased it went well and we all had such a good time!

I have such a big duplicate/used books/daybook rabbit hole to go down now, thank you!

☺️
