Some recent publications of Humanities and Area Studies curators

Many curators in HASRG balance active research in their subject fields with daily work at Stanford Library. Participating in the scholarly and professional debates in our areas of expertise shapes how we develop the collections,  and allows us to provide top notch research and outreach services to students and scholars at Stanford and in the larger academic realm. A recently-formed writing group, organized by Margarita Nafpaktitis, Eitan Kensky, and Kathleen Smith, offers collegial support.

To this end, here’s a bibliography of some recent curatorial publications – they represent research in a wide range of topics and languages, and show yet another way that we put Stanford’s collections to good use.
