One $16k NEH grant at a research library can change the life of a scholar forever while adding to our shared knowledge of history and culture. These depositions will drive me mad
The hack of the British Library, from which it has still not fully recovered, should have been a warning that we cannot rely on digital books alone, but that would require the people making decisions on these topics to be even mildly informed on the subject.
