napkins, page 11 (see pages 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10)
Dr Melissa Terras started
these pad-bag pages on MUM
by sending me disposal bags while
studying for her doctorate at
Christ Church, University of
Oxford, and has contributed many
more since then. She's now (2014)
Director, UCL Centre for Digital
Humanities and Professor of
Digital Humanities, Department of
Information Studies, University
College London.
