Project Traces Personal History Written Into Old Books
“Digital is great for a lot of things, but people don’t put their hands on books anymore.” Linda Rogge, a first-year graduate student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln who is working on the Book Traces project.
Some of them are dusty and falling apart, but the books in the basement of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Don Love Library still have stories to tell. Hidden among the stacks are personal tales that have been written into the margins of 19th and early 20th century books and have been all but forgotten. Now, a project aimed at preserving those notes and inscriptions is gaining momentum. Learn more about the Book Traces project and listen to our story: http://bit.ly/2q6by8U.
