Keynote talk: as open as possible, as permanent as necessary: towards the sustainability of openness

Conference item : Presentation

The earliest surviving fragments of codices come from Egypt – there was a recent flurry over one that might date to the 3rd century CE. The ‘Crosby-Schøyen Codex’ recently came to market from the 3rd to 4th century CE; Codex Amiatinus is the oldest complete Vulgate Bible, from the 7th century CE and was made in Jarrow before it passed to Italy. Books last. What confidence can we have that they will continue to do so? Is Open Scholarship sustainable? What do we need to do to ensure it is? And why does it matter?
Christopher Smith, introduced by Richard Ovenden.
