Dr Malcolm Walsby will be giving a paper at the École des Chartes in Paris on Friday 17 February entitled “Un portail vers le monde de la Renaissance: l’Universal Short Title Catalogue (USTC)”.

The paper will be the first time that the USTC is demonstrated to a francophone audience since it went on line at the end of last year. Dr Walsby’s paper will be followed by a round table discussion with Jean-François Gilmont, Mireille Huchon and Magali Vène.

The event is co-organised by the Société Française d’Étude du Seizième Siècle (SFDES), the Atelier XVIe siècle of the Sorbonne and the École des Chartes. The event starts at 5pm.

The launch event was organised by Professor Annie Charon.
