Modern technology, such as digitization and multi-spectral imaging, is aiding papyrologists in all of these efforts.\n\nTexts on display are some of the highlights of the collection. They include a wonderful drawing of an elephant, a letter from a newly enlisted soldier to his mother, and, of course, some pages of the oldest manuscript with letters of St. Paul (one of the most famous texts of the collection).\n\nIn its 90-year history, the University of Michigan Papyrus Collection has trained more students and scholars in the field of papyrology than any other institution in North America. Founded by the visionary Francis W. Kelsey, the Papyrus Collection has been the training ground for papyrologists from around the world and home to many great resident scholars, such as Herbert and Louise Youtie, Ludwig Koenen, and Traianos Gagos, who died on April 26, 2010.\n\nPapyrology is the field of scholarship that deciphers and studies the texts written \u2013primarily on papyrus\u2013 by people living in the ancient Mediterranean world between 2,500 BCE and 1,000 CE. Most of these texts are found in Egypt where the climate is dry enough to preserve this fragile material. It is a highly specialized and technical field, requiring intensive training in language (Egyptian, ancient Greek, Latin, Arabic), history, and the unique set of skills necessary for reading original documents.\n\nThe exhibit is open during Audubon Room hours: Sun 1-7pm, Mon-Fri 8:30-7pm, Sat 10am-6pm.\n\nThis Exhibit is in Honor of Traianos Gagos (1960-2010).", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"3497-917782@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/3497", "building_id":"1000181", "building_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "campus_maps_id":"65", "room":"Audubon Room", "location_name":"Hatcher Graduate Library", "has_livestream":0, "cost":"", "tags":[], "website":"http:\/\/www.lib.umich.edu\/audubon-room\/events\/papyrus", "sponsors":[ { "group_name":"University Library", "group_id":"1186", "website":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/UMichLibrary\/" } ], "image_url":"", "styled_images":{ "event_thumb":"", "event_large":"", "event_large_2x":"", "event_large_lightbox":"", "group_thumb":"", "group_thumb_square":"", "group_large":"", "group_large_lightbox":"", "event_large_crop":"", "event_list":"", "event_list_2x":"", "event_grid":"", "event_grid_2x":"", "event_feature_large":"", "event_feature_thumb":"" }, "occurrence_count":90, "first_occurrence":917718 } , "3384-917843": { "datetime_modified":"20100826T223421", "datetime_start":"20101127T090000", "datetime_end":"", "has_end_time":0, "date_start":"2010-11-27", "date_end":"", "time_start":"09:00:00", "time_end":"", "time_zone":"America\/Detroit", "event_title":"The View From Below", "occurrence_title":"", "combined_title":"The View From Below: Photography and Innovation on the Lower East Side", "event_subtitle":"Photography and Innovation on the Lower East Side", "event_type":"Exhibition", "event_type_id":"7", "description":"Curator: Sara Blair, University of Michigan", "occurrence_notes":null, "guid":"3384-917843@events.umich.edu", "permalink":"http:\/\/events.umich.edu\/event\/3384", "building_id":"1005179", "building_name":"202 S.
