SoFCB Book Party: Unstable Archives: A Digital Archive of Elizabeth Sharaf un-Nisa Ducarel

Join SoFCB Senior Fellows Megan Robb and Yael Rice for a conversation about Robb’s project "Unstable Archives," a born-digital archive connected to the life of Elizabeth Sharaf un-Nisa Ducarel (1758-1822), a Mughal woman who lived with and bore children by the first Company Supervisor of Purnea. Robb worked with the descendants of Elizabeth Sharaf un-Nisa Ducarel in England to digitize her archive of letters, penmanship notebook, jewelry, miniature painting, and textiles. This event is part of a series celebrating new books and projects in critical bibliography, and is sponsored by Rare Book School’s Andrew W. Mellon Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography (SoFCB).
