You will always be able to find our past Newsletters under the ‘Project News’ tab. Thank you for being a part of the Hidden Stories network. Until next time, Alex Gillespie, Suzanne Akbari, and Sian Meikle, on behalf of the Hidden Stories team �EVENTS Hebrew Printing Symposium On 10–11 April, Global Judaica postdoctoral fellow Noam Sienna (University of Toronto) hosted a symposium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Hebrew printing, entitled “Letters that Link Us: Histories and Mysteries of Hebrew Type.” Activities included lectures, a performance, a gallery exhibition, and an interactive printing workshop. The interdisciplinary gathering, organised with the support of Hidden Stories, the Rare Book School Society of Fellows for Critical Bibliography, University of Minnesota, and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts (MCBA), brought together a vibrant slate of presenters, with speakers and attendees representing a diversity of perspectives, institutions, disciplines, genders, ages, and affiliations from across North America, Europe, and Israel. Virtual Meeting: News Exchange in ‘Book Science’ On 12 and 19 April, the Hidden Stories team hosted a virtual meeting to exchange news in the growing field of “book science” — that is, the range of “natural, computational, conservation and Symposium participant Giovanna Truong (MSt student in Yiddish Studies, Oxford U) and Noam Sienna share a broadside at MCBA printed using Hebrew type. Photo: M. Moreton other scientific approaches that, through interdisciplinary collaborations, surface new histories of books, by imaging, characterizing, and enabling analysis of books, texts and art, their materials and structures, and their accretions over time” (Gillespie). Several questions guided the discussions: how can we build momentum collectively, towards high profile breakthroughs? How can we foster good research relations with libraries and archives? Can we standardise or just share our operating procedures and data in ways that encourage others to replicate and build on our findings? Over 70 participants heard research groups representing 17 institutions share lightning talks about their current work, challenges, and questions. We look forward to the next opportunity to get together! Fisher Summer Seminar on ‘Book Science’ On 5–7 June, the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library and Hidden Stories project welcomed humanist researchers, conservators, and rare book librarians to an intensive seminar on low-barrier, non-invasive scientific imaging and analytic techniques appropriate to the study of manuscripts and printed books from a variety of global book traditions. The seminar hosted local and international specialists as guest speakers: Juilee Decker, Roger L. Easton Jr., and Izzy Moyer from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) led an introduction to multispectral imaging and use of their new low-barrier portable MSI system, David Fernández (Department Head, Rare Books and Special Collections) welcomes seminar participants to the Fisher Library. Photo: Samantha Barfoot MISHA; Sebastian Bosch of Universität Hamburg’s Centre for the Study of Manuscript Cultures (CSMC) introduced the field of ink and pigment analysis, while the University of Toronto (U of T)’s Aaron Au, Earl Magsipoc, and Jessica Lockhart profiled local research projects using FTIR, microCT, carbon dating, and eZooMS sampling. Participants explored how to plan balanced collaborations in pursuing meaningful and achievable book science research questions, with dedicated sessions on data management and ethics planned by Rachel Di Cresce, and interviews with rare book librarians Deborah Meert-Williston (Western University) and David Fernández (Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library). The participants also workshopped prospective collaborations during the seminar, and we are excited that some of these projects are already gaining momentum! For more about the event, please visit our Digital Hub resource on Book Science. 2 �LECTURES & CONVERSATIONS Global Past Workshop in Cairo How do our ideas of ‘global’ and ‘local’ change when we gather at a specific historical site? This question was posed in a unique way through the week-long Global Past Research Initiative workshop held in Cairo this past February, which brought together representatives from the American University in Cairo, the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, the University of Toronto, Cairo University, and Ain Shams University. The workshop took the form of working groups leading discussions each day at a different historical location, juxtaposing that site with an assigned reading to offer reflections on critical and anti-colonial approaches to global art history and ‘the global past.’ Muhamad Abdelmageed (Cairo University), Jessica Lockhart, and Eman Aly Selim (Ain Shams University) presented on behalf of the Hidden Stories project. Hidden Al-Aqmar (‘Moonlit’) Mosque in Cairo, Egypt. In an anticolonial reading, Muhamad Abdelmageed connected this to other moon-related structures globally. Photo: Jessica Lockhart. Stories doctoral fellow Sara Ameri (U of T) was a research assistant helping to organise the event and has co-authored a blog post, “Academic Journeys and Passport Privileges: the Inequities of Global Mobility” which may strike a chord for many within this network. Wampum Symposium The McCord Stewart Museum in Montréal held an international symposium — Around Wampum: Histories and Perspectives — on 22–23 February 2024 in conjunction with an exhibition which gathered over 40 wampum belts / sashes from North American and European collections. The interdisciplinary event brought together Indigenous knowledge keepers, elders, craftspeople, and artists, as well as settler-colonial and Indigenous scholars to discuss the history of wampum, the traditional creation and use of belts / sashes, their role in diplomacy, wampum ‘literacies’ and materiality, and the challenges of accessing, reconnecting with, and repatriating / rematriating wampum objects that live in collections outside of their source communities. The wampum exhibition and symposium provided a long-overdue opportunity for Indigenous community members to reconnect with cultural belongings. Attendee, Hidden Stories collaborator and Munsee- Munsee-Delaware Language keeper and teacher Kristin Jacobs (Eelunaapeewi Lahkeewiit / Delaware Nation at Moraviantown) and family with her wampum work. Photo: M. Moreton Delaware language keeper, Kristin Jacobs (Eelunaapeewi Lahkeewiit / Delaware Nation at Moraviantown) observed: “Being at events and gatherings like so, I always take away the importance of relationship building and connecting with one another orally…It’s up to you to internalise and recall those [knowledge-keepers’] oral teachings to keep them alive.” To read more about the symposium and read Jacobs’ reflections on the event, visit the Hidden Stories Great Lakes & Eastern Woodlands research page. 3 �Noam Sienna on Jewish Book Culture and Global Connections: Global Judaica postdoctoral fellow Noam Sienna has been travelling for Hidden Stories lectures, teaching, and presentations: • In February 2024, a Convivium at the Centre for Medieval Studies (U of T) including a lecture on “The Mishnah MS A: Rethinking the Beginnings of Jewish Book Culture” • In May 2024, the annual Herman Memorial Lecture in Jewish Studies at the University of Regina, entitled “Hidden Stories: How Jewish Books Reveal Global Connections in the Premodern World” • In June 2024, instruction in early modern Sephardi paleography at the annual Oxford Hebrew Manuscript Seminar • In July 2024, a paper on the Ibn Nahmias family of printers for a panel about the movement of Jewish books in the early modern world at SHARP 2024 (the Society for the History of Authorship, Readership, and Publishing), University of Reading, UK. You can learn more about all of these at the Global Judaica research page on our newly expanded Digital Hub! Suzanne Conklin Akbari on Books Across Diaspora and Books as Relations Hidden Stories co-PI Suzanne Conklin Akbari gave two lectures in March on diaspora as a framework within the project, focusing particularly on Global Judaica, Ethiopia and Coastal East Africa, and Great Lakes and Eastern Woodlands. The lecture “Mapping the Interconnected Medieval World: Diasporic Communities and Their Books,” described how Hidden Stories conceptualises diaspora and related terms such as ‘community of origin,’ which can refer both to those who live in the territory where a book was produced and to those who live in that community’s global diaspora. • Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana. • Aris Lecture, Center for Premodern Studies at the University of Minnesota (held at MCBA, Minneapolis). During her research fellowship at the CSMC in Hamburg, Akbari delivered a lecture on “The Book as Living Relation: Collaborative Study of Lenape (Delaware) Belongings with Indigenous Communities of Origin.” The lecture, described here, provides an overview of the project’s community-led approach to gathering around Indigenous books and book-adjacent objects, such as wampum, currently residing in museum and library collections in North America and Europe, and offers methodological insights concerning collaboration, relationality, and the status of the book that inform the Hidden Stories project as a whole. The lecture is viewable here. Suzanne Conklin Akbari on “Books as Living Relations” lecture Virtual Codicology at the Gordon Research Conference In July 2024, Andrew Nelson (Western University) and Jessica Lockhart presented a poster, “Virtual Codicology — the use of micro-CT scanning to reveal the secrets of rare books,” at the “Scientific Methods in Cultural Heritage Research” Gordon Research Conference in Les Diablerets, Switzerland. The poster was co-authored by Rachel Di Cresce, Avery Dowling (Western University), Alexandra Gillespie, Deborah Meert-Williston (Western University), and J. D. Sargan (University of Georgia), and represents the next step in our work to establish a “codicological checklist” to standardise the analysis of medieval (and other) manuscripts using different modes of computed tomography. “Advances in the Characterization of Written Heritage” was one of the sub-themes of this year’s conference, with a dedicated panel organised by Ira Rabin (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM), Germany) and featuring speakers Matthew Collins (University of Copenhagen; Cambridge University), Melanie Roffet-Salque (University of Bristol), and Brent Seales (University of Kentucky). 4 �PUBLICATIONS Article on Reuses of Illustrated Prints from Dunhuang Amanda Goodman and Jessica Lockhart’s article, “Displays of Devotion: On the Uses (and Reuses) of Illustrated Buddhist Prints from Tenth-Century Dunhuang,” is forthcoming in the latest issue of manuscript cultures 20 (2024). Through a discussion of the enigmatic and relatively unstudied printed materials found in Mogao Cave 17 near Dunhuang, the essay reflects on the creative uses of single-sheet illustrated prints to explore the relationship between an emerging print culture, traditional technologies, and local Buddhist devotional practices in the tenth century. The article will soon be openly available on the manuscript cultures site. Video and New Series on Traditional Care Practices for Books We are excited to share a new series on the traditional care practices of books, with a video featuring Ethiopic manuscript scholar and Hidden Stories collaborator Eyob Derillo (SOAS, University of London) sharing knowledge of the traditional care, handling, and storage of Ethiopic codices and amulet scrolls. Books, understood as more-than-human relations by many communities, are closely connected to their users and caretakers — but this care relationship is often broken for books and book-adjacent objects living in GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) and conservation labs. The goal of the series is to begin to integrate traditional care A single-sheet woodblock print of Avalokiteśvara, with hanging tabs added. Guiyijun period (848/851–1030/1036), dated 947.

You can watch the first video here, and read more about the series on the Hidden Stories Traditional Care Practices page. First video of the series Hidden Stories: Traditional Care Practices for Books Hidden Stories Content Now on Global Middle Ages Site We are pleased to be partnering with the Middle Ages for Educators team working at Princeton University to share our global book history digital content. The site, designed to support the teaching of the global Middle Ages, now hosts selected Hidden Stories video content, such as the video featuring research on the Harari Qur’an, now in the collection of the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, Toronto. 5 �TECHNICAL UPDATES Expansion of the Hidden Stories Digital Hub We are delighted to announce enhancements to our Hidden Stories Digital Hub! Before our project librarian Rachel Di Cresce went on parental leave this spring (congratulations, Rachel!), she trained an enterprising undergraduate working towards her Bachelor of Information, Samantha Barfoot, who has joined our team for a summer practicum focussing on Omeka. Since May 2024, Barfoot has worked with Melissa Moreton, the rest of the Hidden Stories team, and the developers of U of T’s Information Technology Services to expand our Digital Hub into the form you see today. To see evidence of their work, please take a look at the new writeups of our 9 Research Areas; browse the professional pages of our research associates via the ‘learn more’ links on our People page; explore the new resources of our crosscutting pages on Traditional Care Practices and Book Science; and review our Notes on a Land Acknowledgement. We welcome any feedback you may have as we continue to work to develop this resource. Samantha Barfoot (U of T) has undertaken a summer practicum expanding the Hidden Stories Digital Hub. 6 �TEAM UPDATES Introducing Research Associate Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia The Hidden Stories project welcomes Dr. Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia, Research Associate, to the team. Bhutia is a Lhopo knowledge keeper and scholar of the cultures, religions, literatures, and histories of Sikkim, India, in the eastern Himalayas, and connections between Sikkim, Tibet, Bhutan, and Nepal.

His research interests include book provenance, Indigenous knowledge and cultural reclamation and repatriation. As a lead researcher for the Himalayas project area, Bhutia will be researching the texts and provenance histories of Tibetan language manuscripts and printed books in the MacDonald Collection of the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, Toronto, and connecting these books to Himalayan communities locally and globally. He will also be organising a workshop related to Indigenous bookmaking and printing, taking place in Sikkim in the fall of 2024 with a future companion event planned with Himalayan communities in New Research Associate, Kalzang Dorjee Bhutia Toronto. Welcome, Dr. Bhutia! Co-PI Akbari at CSMC Hamburg Hidden Stories co-PI Suzanne Conklin Akbari had a three-month research fellowship this spring at the CSMC in Hamburg, Germany, where she served as guest professor in “Gender in Manuscript Cultures.” Her research, aimed at diversifying an understanding of global book history, focused on articulating the methodology around community-led work on Indigenous collections in North American and European institutions. You can read a CSMC interview with Akbari here. The Looting Lab Hidden Stories Doctoral Fellow Isra Saymour (U of T) has recently secured funding from the Jackman Humanities Institute for “The Looting Lab,” an interdisciplinary research hub working to develop an innovative understanding of looted cultural heritage. The Lab is convening a working group in 2024–25, along with a variety of other events and projects. To learn more or join, email looting.lab. utm@utoronto.ca. Conservator Internship Program in Tunisia Renewed for Year #2 The Hidden Stories project is delighted to share that our collaboration with Tunisia’s National Heritage Institute and the Kairouan Manuscript Project to support the early career conservator internship program at the National Laboratory for the Preservation and Conservation of Parchment and Manuscripts (NLPCPM) in Raqqada (Kairouan, Tunisia), is continuing into a second year, as five early career conservation interns are working to conserve some of the world’s oldest Islamic manuscripts. To learn more, visit the Kairouan Manuscript Project site. 7 �New Collaboration for Conservation of Gandhari Scrolls We are happy to announce that Hidden Stories will be partnering with the University of Sydney, Australia in support of the Gandhari Manuscript Project (GMP), which was established for the purpose of conserving, photographing, studying, and publishing the Gandhari birchbark manuscript collection held at the Islamabad Museum, Islamabad, Pakistan, and is covered by an agreement between the (Federal) Department of Archaeology and Museums (DOAM), Islamabad, Pakistan, and the University of Sydney. Hidden Stories funding will help to support the conservation of the manuscripts at the Islamabad Museum by conservators Vania Assis (EXPM - Keeping History Alive) and Mary Hamilton French (Boston Public Library), who are beginning work this summer.
