The Kim-Park Program for the Study of the Book brings together scholars, students, and all who are interested in the history of the book and the materiality of information. From scribal culture to letter-press printing and modern practices of reading, there is no better place to dive into book history than at the University of Chicago, which offers opportunities for research and practice on texts and material objects dating from antiquity to the present, from cuneiform tablets to online games. Made possible by a gift from the parents of an alumnus, the Kim-Park Program supports cross-disciplinary research and teaching related to all aspects of the materiality and transmission of texts and the history of the book through student and faculty fellowships, teaching stipends, material practice workshops, lectures, and regular colloquia.
