Edinburgh Bibliographical Seminar and Workshop: Catalogues and Registers as Evidence in the History of Mathematics, Science, and Technology: The University of Edinburgh Library, 20 July — 24 July 2026

The Albertus Institute was pleased to support this interdisciplinary seminar which aimed to investigate the significant potential of historical registers of commodities, books, and borrowing as sources for the study of the history of mathematics, science, and technology, as well as intellectual history. 

The event was divided into six workshops and six seminars around the themes of Translation, Mathematics, and Heterolinguality; Establishing Bookish Ways of Knowing; Expanding Our Sources and Evidence; Evidence of the Protocols of Natural Observation; and Catalogues Contextualising Individual Thinkers.  Further information and a detailed schedule are available at https://sigma.mathsworlds.org/activities/ebsw/
