Marginalia Lab Videos (5)
The videos below were created for Dr. Peiser's ENG 4900 History of the Book in Theory and Practice Senior Seminar, Winter 2020 course. This term, suspended and emergency-converted to digital spaces due to the Global Coronavirus Pandemic, initiated a need for digital resources for teaching history of the book without access to physical collections. These videos were filmed with the materials originally pulled for the class's Marginalia Lab. Created hastily in our last access to campus and the collection, we hope these videos may be useful to other educators and book historians. We are bibliographers, not videographers, & apologize for the lapses in accessibility in our earliest attempts.
​
Course materials made available here are also from Dr. Peiser's ENG 4900 History of the Book in Theory and Practice Senior Seminar, Winter 2020, and can be credited as such.

The videos below were filmed March 12, 2020 at Oakland University's Kresge Library Reading Room. Transcriptions forthcoming from OU DSS.

Biographical Database
The Women's Print History Project & The Hicks Collection
According to their website, "The Women’s Print History Project is a comprehensive bibliographical database of women’s contributions to print for the long eighteenth century, one of the most convulsive periods in both women’s and print history." The database features 17th and 18th-century texts within The Marguerite Hicks Collection.
