Mapping the QWERTYverse at Central
Sunday, June 23, 2024 - 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM
Audience: Adults
Categories: Author Visit, Arts & Culture, History/Genealogy
The Qwertyverse is a collaboration by UWM's College of Letters and Science, UWM Libraries, and QWERTYFEST MKE. The mapping and archive project, directed by Professor Jason Puskar, includes a wide range of historical artifacts and contemporary reflections, ranging from digitized documents from the original inventors to oral histories with modern typists. It also maps locations in Milwaukee where the inventors lived and worked, and one day we hope it will map the spread of QWERTY around the globe. This is a living archive that we hope will grow and develop over the years ahead. We welcome your suggestions, items for inclusion, or ideas for improvement. Visit us in the Rare Books Room on the second floor of Central Library at 3pm, where project collaborators will show archived items, locations mapped so far, and answer questions about the project.
