The Life of the Medieval Book, presented by Bridget Whittle, Digital Archives Librarian (McMaster University)
Bridget Whittle is the Digital Archives Librarian and has worked at McMaster since 2012. Before shifting in Archives, Bridget completed an undergraduate and Master’s programs in Medieval Studies at the University of Toronto. Currently, she works with digital archival records at McMaster University, which shares unexpected parallels to reading medieval manuscripts, but is significantly less fun. When not knee deep in floppy disks and cables, she is looking for medieval manuscript fragments used in book binding and trying to find missing pages from McMaster’s Book of Hours.
The William Ready Division of Archives and Research Collections is the principal repository for rare books, archives, antiquarian maps, and related historical material at McMaster University in support of teaching, education, and scholarship.
The Division serves a broad range of users, including McMaster students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as a national and international community of researchers and scholars, and members of the general public, both locally and beyond. Archives and Research Collections aims to collect materials that will support the research and teaching activities of the McMaster community and to be an engaged participant in the scholarly work of the University.
