This fascination with texts and words on the page has led me to study various topics, including Japanese Culture Through Rare Books at Keio University and the Magna Carta with the British Council through FutureLearn.
My love of books, both reading them and writing about them, also prompted the creation of a common reading program at CRC called OneBook, which began after three years of best practice research in 2010. This was inspired by a National Endowment for the Arts report in 2007 entitled "To Read or Not to Read" wherein the authors concluded that the decline in literacy rates in the United States represents one of the greatest threats to our democracy. As we open the year 2018, with Twitter and other social media striding loudly upon our daily lives, that report may have been much more prescient than even its own authors realized.

These New Media sources, whether it's Twitter or online universities, allow learning about old texts in new ways, which is what the Digital Humanities is all about.

It's a rich and exciting field of study that combines primary source documents from the past with contemporary technological applications and analysis. The Digital Humanities are ripe with possibilities in the 21st century for bibliophiles, librarians and academics of all stripes.
Beyond this brief primer into the Digital Humanities, however, I want to share with you sources in my preliminary research on the study of the Dutch Masters, those artists whose works are found at the Crocker Art Museum and other themes related to 17th century Netherlands. This is, after all, the focus of the sabbatical.
In preparation for this project, I read many of the texts listed below in 2017. Some of them, including Simon Schama's seminal work about overvloed -- the Dutch word for abundance -- and their attendant "embarrassment of riches," will be traveling with me for study and application as I visit museums over the next four months.
Others, such as Matthew Stewart's text on Leibniz and Spinoza were read and reviewed several years ago. Clearly this research has been on my mind for some time, and it is my hope that you will join me in the reading and writing and talking about the texts to follow:
