Call for Papers: Volume 7 of the Digital Medievalist Journal
With the publication of volume 6 and a forthcoming special issue on the
2010 MARGOT conference, Digital Medievalist is now accepting papers for
volume 7 of its on-line, refereed journal.
We are asking for contributions of original research and scholarship
that meet the mission statement of Digital Medievalist. Contributions
should concern topics likely to be of interest to medievalists working
with digital media, though they need not be exclusively medieval in
focus. This includes notes on technological topics (markup and
stylesheets, algorithms, tools and software, etc.), commentary pieces
discussing developments in the field, bibliographic and review articles,
and project reports. All contributions will be reviewed by authorities
in humanities computing prior to publication.
Journal submissions or enquiries should be emailed to:
editors(a)digitalmedievalist.org
Submissions guidelines are available at
http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/journal/1.1/submission/
With this forthcoming volume, we are re-establishing our "rolling issue"
policy which means that contributions will be published as soon as they
are ready for publication without firm deadlines. To allow inclusion in
volume 7, however, submission before end of August 2011 is recommended.
Digital Medievalist is an international web-based Community of Practice
for medievalists working with digital media. Established in 2003, the
project helps medievalists by providing a network for technical
collaboration and instruction, exchange of expertise, and the
development of best practice. The project operates an electronic mailing
list and discussion forum, on-line refereed journal, news server for
announcements and calls for papers, a wiki and FAQ. It also organises
conference sessions at international medieval and humanities computing
congresses. It is an elected organization and has developed some
governing bylaws. The Digital Medievalist Project is overseen by an
eight-member executive of medievalists with considerable experience in
the use of digital media in the study of medieval topics. See our
website at http://www.digitalmedievalist.org for more information.

May I draw members attention to a new seminar at the Institute for Historical Research in London, starting next week. Information can be found at: http://www.history.ac.uk/events/seminars/321
Though it will not always concern medieval history next week it does, and for those not in London but interested the seminar is being streamed live.
