Meet the Grants Office: Marianne | Medarbetarwebben
Marianne Gillion joined the SLU Grants Office as a Research Coordinator in April 2024. She comes to us from the world of social sciences, humanities, and musicology!

I like to say that I'm a musicologist (cultural historian of music and books) by training and a research coordinator by profession.
Here's a little interview about how I changed careers, what I do now, and my very best grant writing tip!

Another exodus from the other site, from the sounds of it? If you're looking for the #EarlyModern gang, we've got three starter packs that compile a bunch of them. I can keep adding to the third, just poke.

First #bookhistory post of the year. Some books simply scream for a thread!
We have two copies of the same #EarlyModern edition. Why would we want to collect two copies of the same book, you ask? Read on!

This fantastic book is also the first full gradual printed in the Italian peninsula! Fantastic to learn of another extant copy.
Professionally, it's also the book that ignited my love of early modern plainchant & music printing (cf my diss + articles from 2019 and 2020!)

Last BPL new acquisition of the year is a copy of the very rare gradual printed by Johann Emerich for Lucantonio Giunta in Venice in 1499. This is the largest book (by dimensions) printed during the 15th century and it required a custom-manufactured paper stock to print. 1/8

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.
Seems like it's worth posting this one again.

Why do historians go to archives? Hasn’t everything already been digitized?

I have a weird question for the #bird people on here. Do you think someone could tell that a book was pooped on specifically by a sparrowhawk (or perhaps hawks generally) just from the feces? I'm looking at a 16th c. case where witnesses claim books were pooped on specifically by sparrowhawks!
