Study of Cold war India - Online resources survey
by Padmanabha Vyasamoorthy 19 Nov '21

19 Nov '21

Here is an interesting, exhaustive survey of online resources. https://www.wilsoncenter.org/blog-post/online-source-primer-study-cold-war-… ///Wilson Center: An Online Source Primer for the Study of Cold War India. "During the past year, the National Archives of India was beset by questions of reorganization, access, and the effects these issues would have on writing histories of India. As the National Archives and the Nehru Memorial Museum and Library came under scrutiny for ongoing renovations, historians of India began to look elsewhere for archival sources; given the ongoing pandemic, our attention shifted to digitized documents primarily of post-1947 government archives.... I have previously written about the newly launched database Ideas of India, an archive of pre- and post-colonial Indian periodicals. The following is a discussion of archives focused less on the socio-cultural space and more on official documents issued by various government ministries."/// Dr P Vyasamoorthy / 9490804278 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Ely’s new cathedral (of books) opens for business

Ely’s new cathedral (of books) opens for business The picture shows the book racks at the £17m Library Storage Facility (LSF) of Cambridge University Library at Ely opened in 2018. Each row of shelving reaches a height of 11.5 metres, around the height of two adult giraffes. The LSF has been built to provide a perfect, climate-controlled environment across 65 miles (106 km) of shelving (the distance between Cambridge and the Houses of Parliament) for its least-requested books – those deemed ‘low-use’. At capacity, the LSF is capable of holding in the region of four million items. At current estimates, the LSF is not expected to be full until 2030 at the earliest. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hr-mohan_elys-new-cathedral-of-books-opens-f… https://lnkd.in/gWZQYXHm With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Very interesting story related to history of printing
by Mohan Hr 18 Nov '21

Very interesting story related to history of printing ====================================== A 1971 cheque from Cambridge University Press instructing Barclay's Bank to repay to the University the debt owed by 16th century printer John Siberch. John Siberch: Cambridge’s first printer (and record debtor?) 2021 is the 500th anniversary of the first works printed in Cambridge Five hundred years ago, John Siberch, the son of a German wool merchant, borrowed £20 from Cambridge University and set up the first printing press in the city. He stayed in Cambridge only a short while before returning to Germany and dying, as far as records suggest, without ever repaying his debt. Adjusting for a compound interest rate of 5% over the intervening five centuries, the debt would today stand in the hundreds of billions Fortunately for any descendants, the original sum was repaid and interest waived by the University in 1971, on the 450th anniversary of Cambridge’s first publication. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/hr-mohan_very-interesting-story-related-to-h… https://lnkd.in/g4_pKr4M With regards HR Mohan -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
