What are the technical challenges of making 16th & 17th century letters readable without opening them? This project seeks to gain access to unfolding locked manuscripts, leaving the materiality of the documents untarnished.

This lecture is given by Markus de Jong, researcher at the Leiden University’s Centre for Arts in Society.
