Episode Two - Diana Lemberg Thoughts and Feels

    • Society & Culture

We live in an information age. For centuries information has been recorded, distributed and preserved through the medium of paper. The past century has seen movements away from paper as an information storage medium in favor of microfilm and digital resources. Dr. Lemberg shares her experience as an historian to highlight some of the costs of this transition from paper to other media--such as the practical and creative difficulties of dealing with non-paper resources, and the potential loss of information contained in historic papers as artefacts in and of themselves.
