On June 13, 1894, J.W. Clark, the Registrary of Cambridge University, delivered a lecture titled “Libraries in the Medieval and Renaissance Periods.” Clark exhorted his audience to rise above the disdain, typical of the period, of “ancient” modes of thought. “The more we study what [our forefathers] did,” he said, “the more we shall realise how laborious, how artistic, how conscientious they were; and amid all the developments of the nineteenth century, we shall gratefully confess that the Middle Ages rocked the cradle of our knowledge.”
Clark posited to his Cambridge audience two library models: The Workshop and The Museum.
