In their new book, researchers Jana Dambrogio and Daniel Starza Smith discuss the ancient technique of letterlocking, which was used to secure messages before the advent of modern technology. Dambrogio, drawing from her extensive background in document preservation, highlights her work in understanding these security mechanisms to prevent loss of historical context. Smith's expertise complements this study, emphasizing the significance of physical attributes in historical correspondence. Together, they also reveal methods developed to analyze and reconstruct these documents, merging historical inquiry with innovative technology for better preservation and understanding.
