Why do we preserve the past to gain a better understanding of our present and future?
Claire Kouri and Mark Spangler-HMML interns and undergraduate students at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University-meet with HMML curators to discuss how a manuscript or historical artifact can help answer: why care?
This program features Dr. Josh Mugler, curator of Eastern Christian and Islamic manuscripts at HMML. Dr. Mugler illuminates the history of a manuscript from 17th-century Turkey and in doing so reveals how the students who created the manuscript were asking and answering the same questions we find ourselves with today.
