This was a December 2009 workshop led by Heather Wolfe. Faculty incuded Mary Robertson and Gavin Alexander.

This three-day workshop explored strategies for teaching paleography at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level. The workshop aimed to provide participants with the skills and resources to teach the English secretary hand, whether as a directed study, a single-session practicum in a topical seminar, or a semester-length skills course. It built on aspects of Dr. Wolfe’s Folger Institute skills course, Introduction to Early Modern English Paleography (skills course). Participants discussed the challenges they face due to limited manuscript resources on their own campuses. They consulted materials available on the web, in print, and in other collections. Drawing from these and digitized Folger materials, they compiled a set of paleographical exercises and pedagogical methods for teaching paleography at their home institutions. Applicants need not have had experience in teaching paleography, but proficiency in reading secretary hand was required.
