Hidden Stories co-PIs: Alexandra Gillespie (University of Toronto) Suzanne Conklin Akbari (Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton) �EVENTS “Understanding Colour in a Techialoyan Codex” - Toronto On Aug 18-19, the Hidden Stories workshop “Understanding Colour in a Techialoyan Codex” at the University of Toronto (UofT) brought together researchers, archivists, conservators, and scientists to learn about a Techialoyan codex of Axoloapan Xoloctlan, an illustrated book of 15 leaves on amatl (a sheet material made from ficus bark) and written in Nahuatl, from Tecámac, Mexico (1690–1720). Now housed at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, this codex will be included in the Fisher’s fall exhibition, 70 Rare Books, Special Collections, Archives (Sept–Dec 2025). The workshop featured presentations by Élodie Dupey García (UNAM, Mexico City) David Buti (MOLAB/National Research Council in Perugia), cultural heritage conservator Itzel Sánchez Alonso, Itzel González Pérez (INAH/ BNAH, Mexico City), David Fernández and Maia Balint (Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library), Hidden Stories’ Suzanne Akbari and Melissa Moreton (both IAS), and Alex Gillespie. These researchers brought together the research that has happened on this manuscript so far, contextualizing it in the light of current scholarship on Mesoamerican (especially Nahua) use of colours and pigments in codices, while building connections across projects with Indigenous community partners and laying the groundwork for a new study of the pigments in this manuscript to take place over the coming year.

Footprints - Fisher Summer Seminar on Jewish Books Hidden Stories Postdoctoral Fellow Noam Sienna co-taught the June (9-10) Summer Seminar at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library at the UofT. The workshop, “Paleography and Provenance in Printed Hebraica,” was a collaboration with the Columbia University project Footprints: Jewish Books through Time and Place. The intensive workshop offered training in paleography (reading handwritten texts) in Hebrew, Judeo-Arabic, Judeo-Greek, and other languages. Participants used manuscript annotations in the margins of printed Hebraica to produce records on provenance, book use, and circulation of Jewish books across the early modern world, which were added to the growing Footprints database.

Photo: Melissa Moreton Rare Book Libraries Conference - Yale Moreton and McLeod, along with Grant Hurley (Canadiana Librarian, Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, Toronto), co-presented on a panel on June 26 at RBMS — the Rare Books and Manuscripts Section of the American Library Association. The session, held at the Yale University Center for British Art, focused on knowledge-sharing projects taking place at American (Princeton) and Canadian (UofT) libraries, led by members of origin communities, whose belongings reside in those spaces. McLeod presented her preliminary conservation research studying the deterioration of wampum beads and McLeod and Moreton discussed their work on the Hidden Stories’ Traditional Care Practices video series. While at Yale, McLeod also presented a talk on “Best Practices for Cross-Collection Care” to a group of staff, faculty and students on the experiences, challenges, and realities of incorporating Indigenous knowledge and worldviews in cultural and heritage institutions. The goal of these conversations is to build tangible connections linking institutions to the communities whose belongings they hold, and finding new ways of caring for manuscripts and book-adjacent objects that benefit communities and their more-than-human relations — while providing a framework for how institutional caretakers might begin such work.

Imaging and Book Science Presentation - Dubrovnik On March 27, Stephanie Lahey (Andrews Postdoctoral Fellow in Book Science, UofT) presented a paper by Alex Gillespie and Jess Lockhart, “Good to MISHA: Building Relationships and Imagining a Collaborative Book Science Lab in Toronto,” at the Cultural Heritage Imaging & Innovation Conference in Dubrovnik, Croatia (March 25-28). 3 �Global Judaica Presentations Sienna participated in a three-day seminar in April hosted by Pennsylvania State University, “Jewish-Muslim Relations in the Maghrib, 8th Century to the Present,” which brought together academics, artists, and museum curators from Morocco, Europe, and North America to discuss the state of the field, brainstorm future collaborative projects, and build up collegial interdisciplinary relationships. Sienna also presented on early modern Sephardi paleography and book culture at the annual Hebrew Manuscript Seminar of the Oxford Centre for Hebrew and Judaic Studies, held at the Bodleian Library in July. In May, Sienna presented his talk “Landscapes of Print: Jews, Arabs, and Judeo-Arabic in Colonial North Africa,” at UCLA’s Alan D. Leve Center for Jewish Studies. The lecture explores Judeo-Arabic printing, as well as reading, writing, and thought among Maghrebi Jews in 19th-century North Africa - a context in which Arab and Jewish cultural influences were fluid and overlapping. The talk concludes with a discussion with Aomar Boum (UCLA), of Sienna’s recently published monograph on Maghrebi Jewish book history. Watch Sienna’s lecture and discussion here. Handwritten Text Recognition Workshop - Princeton Hidden Stories team members presented their research on Automatic Text Recognition (ATR) and Handwritten Text Recognition (HTR) at the “Source Codes of the Past” conference, held at the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS), Princeton, in June. Organized by Princeton University’s Manuscripts, Rare Books and Archival Studies initiative (MARBAS) and the Center for Digital Humanities (CDH), along with IAS, the workshop included training sessions on ATR/HTR followed by presentations on HTR and AI-powered tools being developed to analyze ancient and medieval texts in new ways. Hidden Stories co-PI Alexandra Gillespie gave a virtual presentation on reading text fragments inside bindings using microCT and deep learning. Collaborators Sloane Geddes and Ajay Rao (UofT) presented their work on developing HTR tools for Sanskrit scripts and Sebastian Sobecki (UofT) delivered a talk on scribal communities and the production of literature in medieval London. The workshop brought together humanists (language experts, historians, philologists) and computer scientists, programmers, and engineers to discuss the future of AI-trained software for work with early handwritten texts. Science Rendezvous - The Hidden Lives of Historical Books On May 10, 2025, Hidden Stories Doctoral Fellow Christina Nguyen (UofT) led a team of students, staff, and researchers from the Old Books New Science Lab in organizing an interactive booth introducing scientific approaches to “the hidden lives of historical books” at this year’s Science Rendezvous at UofT St. George. “Our research is grounded in community, and this event allowed us to share the scientific side of book studies with the public in a tactile, engaging way,” said Nguyen.

Filmmaker Chris Monette filming Amanda McLeod with wampum belts in the conservation lab at the NMAI Cultural Resource Centre in Suitland, Maryland. Photo: Melissa Moreton New Video - Traditional Care Practices for Wampum The Hidden Stories Digital Hub expands with a new video in the Traditional Care Practices series on care of wampum belts with independent conservator and curator Amanda McLeod (Sagkeeng Anicinabe Nation). The video was filmed with wampum belts at the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI), Smithsonian Institution, and the NMAI Cultural Resource Center, where McLeod had previously served as a conservation intern. The video highlights institutional obligations of those holding Indigenous belongings and the importance of connecting with community members who can advise on their care. As McLeod notes, “Our stories have been told for us for so many generations” with the institutional attitude of “we know what’s best.” She emphasizes that the best way to work toward reconciliation and decolonization, and shift the institutional mindset from “owners of objects” to “custodians of collections,” is to collaborate with source communities in a respectful way since they hold the most important knowledge of their belongings. View the video and others in the series here. Early Modern Jewish Books in North Africa In June, Indiana University Press released Jewish Books in North Africa: Between the Early Modern and Modern Worlds, a monograph by Hidden Stories Postdoctoral Fellow Noam Sienna. The volume examines book production, distribution, and use among North African Jews from the late medieval period to the 19th century, demonstrating the ways in which books connected vibrant networks of Sephardic Jews within a complex and interconnected Mediterranean world. More-Than-Human Beings in the Eastern Himalayas Hidden Stories team member Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia published “Rituals to Make the Rain Fall on Time and Mend the Concrete Caves: Propitiating the Land as Repair and Care in Sikkim” (Yin-Cheng Journal of Contemporary Buddhism 1.2 (2024) [2025]: 109-136). In the article, Bhutia explores Indigenous and Buddhist concepts of abundance and more-than-human beings in local knowledge, including historical texts and rituals, concerning land relations in Sikkim in the eastern Himalayas which differ sharply from discourses of colonial extraction. New publication by Noam Sienna, Jewish Books in North Africa. 5 �RESEARCH UPDATES Fibre Analysis of a Colonial Mexican Manuscript This June a Toronto team undertook fibre analysis of the Techialoyan codex Axoloapan Xoloctlan (1690-1720), which is now in the care of the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, as part of a larger effort to learn more about this colonial Mexican manuscript and the community that made it. Fibre analysis was led by cultural heritage conservator Itzel Sánchez Alonso, with Maia Balint (Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library), Jess Lockhart, and Aaron Au (Yip Fibre showing helicoidal ornamentation under (left) polarized and (right) colour-transmitted light. Images taken at the Yip Lab with ZEISS Axio Z1 optical microscope, 40x magnification. Lab, UofT). Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican codices were usually written on amatl, made from the inner bark of a ficus tree, but occasionally on maguey, made from agave fibres using a different process. Alonso’s analysis identified ficus fibre structures that confirmed that this colonial book, created up to two hundred years after the conquest of Mexico, is likewise written on amatl, with possible agave fibres identified in the binding cord. This identification confirms an important part of this book’s manufacture using traditional materials. Munsee Delaware Research Trip to Europe Ian McCallum and John Nicholas (both from Munsee-Delaware Nation), John Moses (Delaware and Upper Mohawk bands, Six Nations of the Grand River Territory) and Hidden Stories co-PI Suzanne Conklin Akbari travelled to Germany and Scotland in June 2025 to visit with Munsee belongings in European collections. The trip included visits with wampum belts, ceremonial masks, and other belongings at the Ethnological Museum (Berlin) and Karl May Museum (Radebeul), Germany, and the David Livingstone Birthplace Museum in Blantyre, Scotland. The visits with ancestral belongings were powerful and Nicholas noted that he felt a renewed respect and awe for the skills of his ancestors, the mask carvers and wampum belt creators of his community. Moses’ reflections on the trip are summed up in the question: “How do we decolonize, Indigenize and unsettle existing institutions, while setting in place the conditions necessary for brand new Indigenous-led Munsee community members visiting with a Delaware (Lenape) wampum belt, Ethnological Museum, Berlin, 16 June 2025 (LT to RT: Ian McCallum, John Moses, John Nicholas). Photo: Suzanne Conklin Akbari cultural spaces of the future?” The visit continues to establish connections with European institutions holding Indigenous belongings from Turtle Island, a focus of ongoing work. For the travelers’ report on the trip, read “Visiting with Munsee Delaware Belongings in Europe” on the Hidden Stories Digital Hub. Kairouan Manuscript Project Continues As announced on the Universität Hamburg’s Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures’ site, the Hidden Stories team are delighted to have made an agreement extending our collaboration with CSMC and Tunisia’s National Heritage Institute in support of the Kairouan Manuscript Project for another year. We are proud to continue to support the important work of the early career conservators at the National Laboratory for the Preservation of Parchment and Manuscripts in Kairouan, Tunisia.

Bhutia examined manuscripts with connections to Sikkim, India, studying how their materiality reflects Indigenous knowledge and care. Holmes-Tagchungdarpa looked at traces of Himalayan ecology present in the book collection, including paper fibers and ink that indicated the methods used to make the books and how they were cared for. They were also kindly hosted for a day of research at the Royal Ontario Museum, where they spent time with books and thangka (Tibetan Buddhist paintings), including a beautiful pecha / book from the Qing dynasty with painted cover and protective silk curtain intact (pictured at right), representing a form of care and reverence for the power held within the book. What To Do With a Mouldy Book? In June Hidden Stories’ Alex Gillespie and Jess Lockhart welcomed Joshua Calhoun and Caitlin Bhutia visiting with a Tibetan prayer book with painted deities (ROM 957X244).

The meeting included a tour of UAMH Centre for Global Microfungal Biodiversity, one of the world’s leading repositories of historical and modern fungi, as well as a visit inside Maia Balint’s conservation studio; expect further updates on this research in coming months! Multispectral Imaging with RIT Colleagues UofT Hidden Stories team members in collaboration with Yuhong He’s Remote Sensing and Spatial Ecosystem Modeling laboratory and the Andrews Hub for Book Science were delighted to host Juilee Decker and Dave Messinger of Rochester Institute of Technology’s Cultural Heritage Imaging, Preservation, and Research team for two days of training as we set up the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library’s new multispectral imaging apparatus with the updated software RIT’s team has just released. Messinger and Decker also taught our team a new trick: that in some cases MSI can be used to image through paper pastedowns. Using this method our team was able to recover evidence of a censor’s stamp and publication information that had been concealed on a Hebrew early printed book, Paper covering a censor’s stamp (left), revealed through MSI imaging on title page (right) of an 18th-c.

Global Judaica Research Updates While in the UK this summer, Global Judaica Postdoctoral Fellow Sienna researched 16th-c. Hebrew printing, supported by a generous grant from the Willison Foundation Charitable Trust. He worked at Cambridge University Library, the British Library, and the Bodleian Library to identify printed fragments from the early Constantinople Hebrew press (1493-1530) of the Ibn Nahmias brothers within the collections of material from the Cairo Genizah. Sienna’s research records copy-specific information from early Constantinople imprints that will help reconstruct the working process of this press and document the early movement of its books through provenance research.
