We are very pleased to announce that the video of the Webinar on book history in the Philippines (1850-1950), which we hosted last October, is now widely available.
Under the title, Books & Press under Different Regimes of Power: The Philippines between 1850-1950, the webinar gathered scholars, librarians, and curators from the Philippines, Europe, and the USA, to discuss various case studies of how political and cultural forces shaped the production and reception of books, journals, and newspapers in the Philippines between 1850 and 1950.
