Summary

Chronicle Preservation explores the crucial topic of preserving historical records, examining how societies have strived to safeguard knowledge across time. It highlights the evolution of preservation methods, from the meticulous work of ancient manuscript preservation to the complex challenges of modern digital archiving. For instance, the transition from hand-copied manuscripts to the printing revolution not only increased the volume of information but also introduced new preservation challenges, such as managing acidic paper's degradation. The book emphasizes that preservation is not a neutral act but is intertwined with cultural values, power dynamics, and the choices we make about what survives.

 
The book adopts a chronological approach, guiding readers through three key phases: the age of manuscripts, the printing revolution, and the digital era. It examines the technologies and techniques that defined each period, as well as the social and economic factors that influenced preservation efforts. Each chapter builds upon the previous one, exploring the unique challenges and ethical considerations that arise with each technological advancement.

 
Ultimately, Chronicle Preservation aims to challenge readers to critically examine the biases inherent in preservation efforts and to consider the ethical implications of choosing what to save and who gets access to it.

Europe's Babylon - The Rise and...

Michael Pye

Before Amsterdam, there was a dazzling North Sea port at the hub of the known world: the city of Antwerp. 
 
 
 
In the Age of Exploration, Antwerp was sensational like nineteenth-century Paris or twentieth-century New York. It was somewhere anything could happen or at least be believed: killer bankers, easy kisses, a market in secrets and every kind of heresy. For half the sixteenth century, it was the place for breaking rules—religious, sexual, intellectual. 
 
 
 
And it was a place of change. Thomas More opened Utopia there, Erasmus puzzled over money and exchanges, William Tyndale sheltered there and smuggled out his Bible in English until he was killed. 
 
 
 
But when Antwerp rebelled with the Dutch against the Spanish and lost, all that glory was buried and its true history rewritten. Mutinous troops burned the city records, trying to erase its true history. 
 
 
 
In Europe's Babylon, Michael Pye sets out to rediscover the city that was lost and bring its wilder days to life using every kind of clue: novels, paintings, songs, schoolbooks, letters, and the archives of Venice, London, and the Medici.

In the Mind of Stalin

James Greensmith

On 1 October 1939, Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty and soon to be the UK’s wartime leader, described Russia as ‘a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma’. The same can certainly be said of Stalin. How can this paradox of a man, who on the one hand had once exhibited great tenderness and kindness to his daughter Svetlana, and on the other sent millions – including members of his own family - to their deaths, be explained? 
 
It is impossible to quantify the total number of deaths attributable to the policies of Stalin, but the ‘Excess Mortality’ (i.e., deaths over and above what would normally have been expected during the period in question) gives an approximate figure in excess of 40 million. 
 
However, this is only part of the story of the amount of misery inflicted by the Stalin regime through torture, deliberate starvation, neglect, separation from loved ones, cold and hypothermia (e.g. in the prisons of Siberia), which is unquantifiable and unimaginable. 
 
Svetlana confessed that she ‘would never undertake to “explain” what motivated all my father’s actions, simply because I do not possess the psychological genius of [Russian novelist] Dostoevsky, who knew how to “penetrate” into another man’s soul and “examine it from within”’.
