GBH Amplifies: The Art of Letterlocking

Host Tracy Chang takes an immersive journey into the secret world of "letterlocking" with guest Jana Dambrogio, the Thomas F. Peterson (1957) Conservator at the MIT Libraries and a pioneer in the study of historic communications. Jana has spent decades uncovering the ingenious ways in which historical figures such as Catherine de’ Medici and Phillis Wheatley secured their private correspondence through complex folding and cutting techniques. In this lively, interactive show, audience members hold physical models of these historic letters and witness the cutting-edge technology used to "virtually unfold" unopened documents. The discussion culminates in a hands-on "unlocked" reveal where lucky participants can win prizes like a signed copy of Dambrogio’s book, "Letterlocking: The Hidden History of the Letter," or tasty treats! "GBH Amplifies: The Art of Letterlocking" is part of a community conversation series designed to elevate local voices from Boston and beyond. Held each month at GBH’s studio at the Boston Public Library, GBH Amplifies events feature a cast of rotating hosts from local media, community organizations, and more.
