Call For Nominees
Digital Medievalist will be holding elections at the end of June for
four positions to its Executive Board. Board positions are for two
year terms and incumbents may be re-elected (for a maximum of three
terms in a row). Members of the Board are responsible for the overall
direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist’s
many projects and programmes. This is a working board, and so it would
be expected that you are willing and able to commit a little bit of
time to helping Digital Medievalist undertake some of its activities
(such as helping to run its its journal, conference sessions, etc.).
For further information about the Executive and Digital Medievalist
more generally please see the DM website, particularly:
- http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/about.html
- http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/bylaws.html
We are now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for the
annual elections. In order to be eligible for election, candidates
must be members of Digital Medievalist (membership is conferred simply
by subscription to the organisation’s mailing list, dm-l at uleth.ca)
and have made some demonstrable contribution either to the DM project
(e.g. to the mailing list, or the wiki, etc.), or to the field of
digital medieval studies.
If you are interested in running for these positions or are able to
recommend a suitable candidate, please contact the returning officers,
James Cummings and Dominique Stutzmann:
election at digitalmedievalist.org
who will treat your nomination or enquiries in confidence. The
nomination period will close at 0000 UTC on Tuesday June 19 and
elections will be held by electronic ballot through the whole of the
week starting 25 June, 2012.

5th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the
Digital Age
November 16-17, 2012
Taxonomies of Knowledge
In partnership with the Rare Book Department of the Free Library of
Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania Libraries are pleased to
announce the 5th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript
Studies in the Digital Age. This year's symposium considers the role of the
manuscript in organizing and classifying knowledge. Like today's electronic
databases, the medieval manuscript helped readers access, process, and
analyze the information contained within the covers of a book. The papers
presented at this symposium will examine this aspect of the manuscript book
through a variety of topics, including the place of the medieval library in
manuscript culture, the rise and fall of the 12th-century commentary
tradition, diagrams, devotional practice, poetics, and the organization and
use of encyclopedias and lexicons.
