Workshops on Materiality of Ming Books & Manuscripts for Librarians
The Richard C. Rudolph East Asian Library and Library Special Collections, part of the Distinctive Collections Division at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Library, November 2025 – October 2026
An award from the Geiss Hsu Foundation will support a series of online and in-person workshops on the materialities of Ming books and manuscripts for fourteen East Asian studies librarians specializing in Chinese studies in North America. Participants will acquire knowledge and skills to move beyond traditional “one-shot” bibliographic instruction toward a new model of teaching that integrates material analysis into undergraduate and graduate curricula.
