A Visit to The Library Café

October 10, 2016 in Announcements, Manuscript Studies, Reports

The Library Café
and Its Host, Thomas Hill
of the Vassar College Art Library

Close-Up of The Host of 'The Library Cafe' in the Radio Studio. Photography © Mildred Budny[This post announces, and accompanies, a radio interview with our Director, Mildred Budny, describing aspects of our origins, development, purposes, and activities.  You can hear the interview, beginning with its live broadcast on Wednesday 12 October 2016 from 12:00 noon ET, or 17:00 GMT, here.]

We celebrate a visit to The Library Café and its host, Thomas Hill, Art Librarian at Vassar College.  That prime educational institution is the Alma Mater of the Director of the Research Groups.

For a while now, I (this is the Director talking) have been a fan of Tom’s series of radio interviews, and a fan of Tom, with his wide interests, generous hospitality, and fascinating conversations.  We first met, as I recall, at one of my talks at Vassar, and we have continued to talk, and I have continued to listen, over the years since then, at Vassar and elsewhere.

Here is how the Vassar College Art Library describes The Library Cafe:

The Library Café is a weekly program of table talk with scholars, artists, publishers and librarians about books, scholarship, and the formation and circulation of knowledge.

As for my View? It is breathtakingly wonderful. That’s my opinion.  Delighted to become part of it!

An Inaugural Workshop for a New Series

2001 Workshop Poster

Since 2001, the Research Group has jointly sponsored various forms of scholarly meetings, including Workshops, Colloquia, and Symposia, co-organized by Mildred Budny and held at various centers in the United States and elsewhere. Our earlier events are reported here:

  • History
  • Events
  • Seminars on the Evidence of Manuscripts (1990‒1995)
  • Congress Sessions (1993‒1995 and 2004‒)
  • Annual Symposia on the Transmission of the Bible (1995‒2000).

Soon after completing the process of its incorporation as a nonprofit educational organization in 1999, and its official Recognition as such by the Internal Revenue Service, the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence resumed its organization of scholarly events with an “Inaugural and Celebratory Workshop” held at The College of New Jersey.  Over time, as these resumed Events gathered momentum, they came to be called

  • The New Series.
