Uncovering the covers
Organized by: Bookbindings Working Group and Uppsala University Library
On May 27-28, 2019 CERL Bookbindings WG, in collaboration with Uppsala University Library, arranges a two-day workshop on
publishing bookbindings, provenance evidence and watermarks online. The workshop takes place at Uppsala University Library
and is aimed at librarians, conservators, researchers and others interested in book history online.
The main tutors will be Stefan Andersson and Helena Backman, both librarians at Uppsala University Library (UUL) and Per Cullhed, strategic development manager at UUL. The online repository Alvin will be the main tool for the workshop. The second day, Professor Nicholas Pickwoad and Athanasios Velios, PhD, both at the Ligatus Research Centre at the University of the Arts, London, will make a joint presentation where professor Pickwoad identifies the way that a researcher would require material served at their desktop computers and Athanasios Velios will propose ways of structuring data to allow this to happen online with references to the LoB (Language of Bindings) thesaurus and Linked Data.
The workshop language will be English.
