Abstract: Research in the Humanities would not be possible without access to primary sources. In this session, we will dive into the world of Brazilian film magazines, US intelligence files and a Qur'an hidden by monks in Venice. By curating and digitizing primary source collections, we not only make rare materials more accessible, we also enrich, preserve and archive documents and research objects for generations to come.
