We use hands-on, immersive teaching methods and work with faculty across all disciplines to study the history, care, and use of handwritten, printed, and digital materials.

Our teaching philosophy is hands-on and experiential. We engage students with original primary materials and provide them with the tools they need to analyze, admire, interpret, and use primary documents as a window into the past, the present, and the future.
