SUMMARY:Paper Computers: Five Centuries of Volvelles at the Special Collec
 tions Research Center
LOCATION:Bird Library Antje Bultmann Lemke Seminar Room\, 6th Floor\, 222 
 Waverly Ave\, Syracuse\, NY 13244
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a pop-up exhibition of a selection of volvelles fr
 om the Special Collections Research Center's holdings. Derived from the L
 atin volvere\, meaning “to turn\,” volvelles are interactive devices cons
 tructed from rotating layered discs of paper\, parchment or wood. Functio
 ning as early computers\, they were historically used to perform complex 
 astronomical calculations\, learn languages\, analyze mechanical movement
 s and more.\n\nThe pop-up exhibition showcases five centuries of volvelle
 s in SCRC's collections ranging from early modern astronomical works by S
 acrobosco and Petrus Apianus to commercial calculating devices\, historic
  hornbooks\, and contemporary artists' books. Visitors will have a chance
  to directly engage with the items on display and create their own volvel
 les.\n\nThe event is free and open to the public.\n\nImage Caption:\n\nLe
