Further Resources
Book history is the study of the many forms in which human knowledge has been produced and consumed. The methods of book history extend to sociology, literary criticism, archaeology, and library and information science. Its remit extends beyond books to newspapers, manuscripts, sound recording, and by some definitions everything from tattoos to texts.
The Rutgers Book Initiative actively collaborates with scholars, centers, departments, and institutes across Rutgers and the New Jersey community. Some of those resources may be discovered here.
