Programs: (Zoom) Ink & Silver: Photography and the Printed Book with Stephen Greenberg

Until the advent of the omnipresent little screens in everyone’s pocket, the way most viewers experienced photography was through books, magazines, posters, and other ink–based technologies. This presentation examines how that happened (although it was neither quick nor simple), and offers thoughts and how the consumption of images will continue to change how we make our photographs.

Stephen Greenberg, MSLS, PhD is an historian, rare book librarian, teacher, writer, and photographer originally from New York City, but for many years he was based in suburban Maryland. He recently retired after nearly thirty years with the History of Medicine Division of the National Library of Medicine at NIH, and continues to teach book history–related courses at the University of Maryland at College Park
