Many of us have a preconceived notion of what a book is, but there are many aspects hidden within the pages (if there are any in the first place). Even the most intuitive parts of our modern codices, like pages and titles, had to be invented along the way. Texts have gone through countless changes to arrive at our modern conception of a book, and this page focuses on some of these interesting and revolutionary developments throughout history. As we continue to navigate unexpected shifts towards remote learnings and research, we had the unique opportunity to delve deeper into digital resources. Our professor challenged us to publish our research on this MediaWiki platform. The Wikipedia platform has an ever-growing audience of readers / editors which represents an event in the incunabular era of the Digital Age, allowing the engagement of human knowledge from all corners of the globe. This project not only gave rise to a discussion on the role of this collaborative platform, but also gave us the opportunity to build a virtual museum that future students could continue to draw on and contribute to. We are excited to share the research conducted by the virtual Fall 2020 Cultures of the Book seminar taught by Professor Whitney Trettien, and hope to present the multifaceted history of the book in a way that challenges our familiar notions.
