Description
The most famous building in ancient Pergamon/Pergamum was its library . So many distinguished scholars gathered here that the Egyptian scholars in charge of the great library at Alexandria feared a "brain drain " and decreed a ban on papyrus exports to Pergamum . The scholars here devised a method of writing on animal skins that spread throughout Europe and became known as "parchment--meaning "from Pergamum. " Not much is left of the library today .

Digitization
Prof. Paul Brians created these photographs using an Olympus Camedia D-490ZOOM with available light, no tripod. A couple of dozen photos toward the end of the trip were made on Kodak disposable cameras. Paul Brians also provided captions and other descriptive information for the images that were cataloged and uploaded to the CONTENTdm server at the WSU Libraries.
