Acknowledgments
This book began as a forum at Boston University, “Recording Lives: Libraries and Archives in the Digital Age,” October 5–7, 2017. The forum was co- sponsored by the Boston Public Library and the Boston Athenæum and took place over three days at BU, the BPL, and the Athenæum. Most of our contributors agreed to turn their papers into full-fledged chapters, and for that I am very grateful. I am also grateful to Alan Liu for his willingness to contribute when I reached out to him. I want to thank Tamzen Flanders and Chris Loken-Kim, administrators at the BU Center for the Humanities who worked so hard on the forum logistics, which included bringing many participants from overseas. I also want to thank the BU College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences and Office of the Provost for their generous support of the forum. Thanks to Alison Paddock whose design for our forum catalog helped to inspire our book cover. She made our “Brochure” design, not our “Catalogue”. And many thanks to my son, Sascha Bercovitch
