Indexes are taken for granted. Tucked away in the back of a book, ignored till we need them. We give little thought to their creation or history, yet indexes are critical to readers and researchers. What is Google after all but a huge digital index? On this episode of Inquiry, we speak with writer DENNIS DUNCAN. He is a lecturer in English at the University College London. His new book is a fascinating history of the index: INDEX, A HISTORY OF THE. A BOOKISH ADVENTURE FROM MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS TO THE DIGITAL AGE.
