The fact that I spend a lot of time in the 18th century doesn't mean I'm not concerned with the 21st.
From Robert Darnton
It's important to make clear to all the schools at Harvard the central role of the library.
When you tell people you're in history, they give you this pained expression because that was the course they hated in high school. But history can be exciting, intellectually rigorous, and fun.
I want to continue to strengthen Harvard's fabulous collections in old printed material, but at the same time, I want to help Harvard move into the world of digitized information.
Texts are always in flux.
