Hi all,
We'll be in Ruthwell next week photographing and 3D scanning the
Ruthwell cross as part of the Visionary Cross project.
If you are interested in following what's going on while we are on site,
we will be tweeting and posting photos using the hashtag
#visionarycross. Blog entries, photos, and tweets will also be available
at http://www.visionarycross.org/
This website was put together by some students on the basis of the
original funding applications and will be fairly low-level for most of
the people on this list. Now that we are beginning to get new data,
we'll be updating it with better bibliography, photos, and the like as
they become available.
The team will be assembling in Ruthwell and setting up on Monday and
Tuesday. Scanning and photographic work should be happening Wednesday
through Friday. On site will be James Graham (New Media, Lethbridge),
Heather Hobma (Lethbridge graduate student), Catherine Karkow (Art
History, Leeds) Roberto Rosselli Del Turco (Linguistics, Turin), the CNR
scanning team (Marco Callieri and Matteo Dellepiane), and myself. Our
fellow team member Wendy Osborn (Computer Science, Lethbridge) will be
in Lethbridge.
Please feel free to look up the site periodically next week to see the
scanning in action!
This work is being funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research
Council and the University of Lethbridge.

Who are we Digital Humanists? And who are we Digital Medievalists?
*Humanistica <http://www.humanistica.eu/>, the future European DH
Association, launches a survey to find out about the digital humanists’
community.**
Answer the online survey
<http://bit.ly/HcrQ4D>* The Humanistica project and the DH manifesto
By responding to this survey, you will help the Digital Humanities
community discover its extent and diversity, as well as its geographical
and linguistic composition. We hope you will be willing to participate in
this survey and thus improve understanding of our community. This
questionnaire, which is an initiative of the Centre for Open Electronic
Publishing <http://cleo.cnrs.fr/> (Cleo) and
OpenEdition.org<http://www.openedition.org/>,
is a contribution to the Humanistica Project: towards a European
association for the Digital Humanities, building on the ideas expressed in
the Digital Humanities Manifesto, based on a multilingual approach, and
democratic principles (one person, one vote). If you agree with the
principles of the Digital Humanities, you can sign it (
http://www.humanistica.eu/manifesto). Thank you for your contribution!
