Tag der Provenienzforschung 2024 - Archivworkshop mit Jana Caroline Reimer
In the organizer's words:
Decoding old manuscripts, understanding files, no more fear of Sütterlin, Kurrentschrift and Fraktur.
Archive workshop with Jana Caroline Reimer and Julianna de Sousa
The ability to read handwriting is diminishing all the time. And conversely, even the development of legible handwriting was an art in itself in the pre-digital age.
But how difficult is it to read files when it comes to old handwriting, e.g. in Sütterlin or Kurrent script?
This workshop aims to take away the participants' fear of researching files and uses examples to present various solutions and tools that help to make files (or documents, estates) speak for themselves. "It's actually an escape room," says MARKK curator and provenance researcher Jana C. Reimer, because this detective work is also fun.
The workshop is aimed at students of history and cultural studies, as well as those interested in research in general.
No previous knowledge is required.
The event will be held in German in the Zwischenraum.
Provenance research at MARKK is funded by the German Lost Art Foundation.
