The Barista

An earlier visit, invited by Tom, yielded an interview for his series. Broadcast live on Wednesday, 12 October 2016, the interview with our Director can be heard through the website of the Library Cafe.

  • Radio Star
  • A Visit to the Library Cafe

Our Director’s accompanying blogpost gives some further reflections, adds a glossary of Names mentioned in the interview (People, Places, Libraries, Books, and Manuscripts), with links and illustrations, and examines the processes by which dedicated research and the changing world of educational opportunities (or the reverse) led to the formation and development of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence. See Here.

The New Visit

A visit to Vassar for the purpose in August, 2018, yielded this in-depth interview, with questions posed by our Research Group Director, Mildred Budny (an alumna of Vassar College), and thoughtful, detailed responses by Tom Hill. The resulting pair of interviews were broadcast in October as Thomas Edward Hill. Following the initial broadcasts, they can be heard anytime as a podcast.

Seated at his desk in his office, Thomas Hill checks the audio for his Interview.  Photograph by Mildred Budny.

We thank Tom greatly for his generosity, hospitality, and inspiration!

With illustrations, we prepare the transcript for publication as a booklet, within the growing series of our interviews in audio or visual forms.

Some of them include the interview booklets with our Layout and Font Designer and with the Author and Layout Designer of the illustrated catalogue co-published by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence

  • Interview with Our Layout and Font Designer (2016)
  • Design and Layout of the Illustrated Catalogue (2018)

We look forward to sharing the illustrated booklet showcasing Tom’s interview!
