Congratulations!!! So excited for the book history and metadata interaction!! (still love that question we got in the Sevilla panel that just set the two of us off on book history metadata rants!)

Yes yes yes, I have a lot of plans for this! I may come your way with some DH questions once I get the project off the ground...

Please do! I'd love to hear more about what you're doing!

I am also hoping that this project will not only study collaborations but be collaborative itself. If you come across instances of women sharing an imprint in a handpress book or working together in bookshops, binderies, type foundries, paper mills etc., I'd love to hear about it!

Thank you all so much for your kind words!
