Book History @ KBR
An afternoon of book history lectures
This event has passed.
7 experts, 7 lectures, 1 shared passion
What happens behind the walls of the national library? What have our researchers been working on and which historical treasures are kept in the closed stacks?
7 passionate experts—both from KBR and other institutions—will present their research. They have one thing in common: they conduct research on books from the KBR collections.
During this book history event you will find out all about incunabula, Jesuit manuscripts and historical newspapers and the challenges book historians face. The lectures are in Dutch, French and English.
