Engaging Audiences with Hybrid Collections: Archives, Books, Artifacts, Artworks One of the challenges facing the library, archive and museum professional community at this time is how best to manage, provide access to, and promote interest in collections that span multiple kinds of material object; whether archives, books, artifacts, or visual arts. This talk will address work in this area, through analog and digital approaches, at the Hagstromer Medico Historical Library and Unit for Medical History and Heritage at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. About the Speaker Speaker Biography Dr. Eva Ahren is a historian of medicine and science, and the Director of the Hagstromer Medico Historical Library and Unit for Medical History and Heritage at Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden.
