Digital First Folio

Dear Fellow Docents,

I'm writing to invite you to a training session on the digital First Folio to be held Tuesday, October 27th at 1:00 pm at the kiosk in the exhibition hall.

The session will consist of an orientation to the interface of the digital Folio and a survey of the ways some of our colleagues use those features to present background on such topics as
- the prominence of Ben Jonson,
- the Droeshout engraving,
- the list of actors,
- the table of contents of the plays,
- the lack of a prologue at the start of "Romeo and Juliet,"
- the law of printing and presenting plays, and
- the value of our having so many First Folios.
Time for Q&A will follow the presentations.

The upcoming session will be based on what several of us learned from one another at a discussion of the First Folio held last month, and we hope you can join us on the 27th.

Please respond to neuman@georgetown.edu (that is, do not reply to Caitlin's message) if you think you may be willing and able to attend. Your reply does not constitute a commitment, but it will help us gauge interest and set the format.

Best wishes,
Mike Neuman
