This Eisenberg Institute workshop initiates a conversation across geographies and temporalities around the concealed labor of scribes, librarians, bureaucrats, and scholars who make codices and curate archives to think about process and form. To focus on the labor involved in textual creations as we collect, select, copy, and create digital books and archives, we have invited two scholars, Marina Rustow and Bridget Whearty, to present their work on the hidden hands and invisible choices that go into the long durée of producing books and archives.
