DESCRIPTION:In this online session Jerome de Groot will introduce new cut
 ting-edge technologies that are being applied to manuscripts and archive
 s. Genetic sequencing has led to huge shifts in the way that we understa
 nd the human. New discoveries of Ancient DNA has introduced us to the De
 nisovans\, and changed the way we think about Neanderthals. Increasingly
  this new approach is being used to understand the material culture\, mo
 ving away from archaeological sites to the library and the archive. What
  can we discover about writing and writing materials by using genetic in
 vestigation? What can the DNA of the materials of the library tell us ab
 out collections\, about curation\, and about knowledge itself? And how d
 oes this challenge and change the role of the librarian\, archivist\, an
 d curator? \n\nTo book a free place on this online event please follow t
