We are so accustomed to use digital memories as data storage devices, that we are
oblivious to the improbability of such a practice. Habit hides what we habitually
use. To understand the worldwide success of archives and card indexing systems that
allow to remember more because they allow to forget more than before, the evolution
of scholarly practices and the transformation of cognitive habits in the early modern
age must be investigated. This volume contains contributions by nearly every distinguished
scholar in the field of early modern knowledge management and filing systems, and
offers a remarkable synthesis of the present state of scholarship. A final section
explores some current issues in record-keeping and note-taking systems, and provides
valuable cues for future research
