Harvard University's extensive holdings of illuminated manuscripts from the ninth to the seventeenth centuries are being highlighted this fall in the collaborative exhibition Beyond Words: Illuminated Manuscripts in Boston Collections. In preparation for this exhibition and future use, many of Harvard's most fragile manuscripts were conserved and digitized.

Please join us for presentations on Harvard's illuminated manuscripts, the challenges of conservation and digitization, and the use of the manuscripts in teaching and learning. The presentations will be followed by a light reception and an opportunity to view the manuscripts on display at Houghton Library.
