John Overholt - Digital Exhibitions, Heritage Collections and Inclusivity

In this episode of our Digital Histories series, we are joined by John Overholt, curator of the Donald and Mary Hyde Collection of Samuel Johnson and Early Modern Books and Manuscripts at Houghton Library, Harvard University. We discuss Face to Face: Portraits of People of Color Before Photography - an exhibition recently curated by John at the Houghton Library that has been recreated online in an entirely digital rendering of the exhibition space that focusses exclusively on portraits and depictions of people of colour.
