DESCRIPTION:A paradox of our digital age is that while we can access the o
 lder literature more easily than ever before\, all too often our focus is 
 only on the latest postings to the arxiv. The purpose of this seminar is t
 o illustrate\, by means of a few key examples\, the benefits than can come
  from reading the old literature. My goal here is to be mentorial\, partic
 ularly toward younger scientists\, to emphasise that the ability to ferret
  out the origins of ideas is an important skill. Besides being the right t
 hing to do\, it can make for more interesting papers and seminars\, and ca
 n often reveal motivations that have been lost in time.
