We invite you to attend Episode 16 in our series:
In this Episode, Jesse D. Hurlbut, RGME First WebMaster Emeritus, will speak informally about his contributions to manuscript studies, websites, digital access, and other interests.
Among them are his contributions to medieval manuscript studies, photography, and digital access; his teaching and research on French studies; his websites for himself and others (academic and non-profit organizations); his interests in promoting online communities for manuscript study and enjoyment; and more.
The Anniversary Symposium
in February 2024

This event follows upon the 2024 Anniversary “Manuscript (HE)ART”, held online on Saturday 24 February 2024, as the first in the RGME’s set of Symposia for the 2024 Anniversary Year:
- 2024 Anniversary Symposium in Thanks to Jesse Hurlbut.. co-organized by Katharine C. Chandler and Jessica L. Savage
Taking its title from Jesse’s website Manuscript Art: Taking a Closer Look, the Symposium is designed to gather Jesse’s former students, colleagues, and friends, to consider subjects in manuscript and other studies of interest to him.
The Episode
Now, the Episode gives the chance to hear him, learn more about his interests, and join the conversation. For example, in particular, he proposes to describe the early digital years. These recollections may record experiences viewed in hindsight and with foresight.
The Q&A to follow — or, if we wish, interlink — with the conversational interview gives the opportunity for feedback and participation.
