Columba Stewart OSB (A.B. ’79, History and Literature) will speak about his leadership of a major effort at the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) at Saint John’s University in Collegeville, MN, to digitize endangered manuscripts in the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. He will focus on HMML’s work in Iraq, Syria, and Mali (the manuscripts of Timbuktu). Founded in 1965, HMML now has the world’s largest archive of photographs of manuscripts in dozens of languages, accessible through innovative online platforms. Fr. Columba and his work with HMML has been featured on CBS News 60 Minutes, the BBC World Service Newshour, as well as in The Atlantic, the Wall Street Journal, and other media. He was the subject of an alumni profile in the January-February 2018 issue of Harvard Magazine.
