William Whyte on the History of Libraries
"Professor William Whyte takes us on a journey from the earliest libraries (i.e., a box) through to gleaming 21st-century symbols of learning. Along the way, he explains why damp-proofing shouldn't involve sources of ignition and why jealousy may have inspired Europe's great libraries.
With thanks to the Chained Library at Hereford Cathedral." from the video introduction
