Skulls, Animal Skins and Gold: Welcome to the History of Bookmaking

Before the printing press was around, books were created with materials that might be considered shocking today, such as animal skins, gold, plant materials and other unique materials — skulls were even used as writing surfaces!

However, this isn’t a surprise in UNC’s English 495 class, “History of the Book,” taught by English Associate Professor Kristin Bovaird-Abbo, Ph.D. One of the key assignments of this class allows students to re-create a manuscript page using some of the techniques that were used to produce the first books in the ancient world.

Join the HSS Interdisciplinary Seminar Series

The HSS Interdisciplinary Seminar Series, founded by Dennis Aguirre in the Department of Hispanic Studies, will include monthly talks that feature the latest scholarship in Humanities and Social Sciences. Speakers include UNC faculty from across campus as well as scholars from universities around the country. These seminars foster collegiality, intellectual exchange, and encourage creativity and scholarly achievement. Undergraduate and Graduate students are encouraged to attend. The intent of the Interdisciplinary Seminar Series is the promotion of the vibrant intellectual culture at UNC exemplified by the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

Call for Presenters—Those interested in presenting their research as part of the HSS Interdisciplinary Seminar Series are invited to submit a short abstract and C.V. to Dennis.Aguirre@unco.edu.
