Peel Workshops, Winter 2025

Peel Workshop participants have found it deeply rewarding to work with primary materials, to learn about the history of books and ideas in various disciplines, to hold special rare items in their hands, and to discover what kinds of knowledge can be gleaned from the material objects themselves. We offer smaller in-person and larger online workshops to members of the U of A community. Advance registration is required. Further information and registration here.



Topics include:

Cryptic Mysteries and Literary Hoaxes

Peering into the Bookmaking World of Susan Allix

Taming the Unruly Female Body: Exploring Misogyny in the History of Medicine

Secrets to Success in Archival Research

Jane Austen and Friends

Poison Books

Medium and Message: Publishing Formats Through the Ages

Honorary Degree Books: What Are They and Why Were They Acquired? 

Fish Out of Water: 700 Years of Fishes on the Page
