CENDARI Summer School "Researching Medieval Culture in a Digital Environment"
by Kathleen Walker-Meikle 13 Mar '15

13 Mar '15

The CENDARI project (http://www.cendari.eu/) invites applications to its second summer school, to be held 20-24 July in Prague, Czech Republic, on the theme “Researching Medieval Culture in a Digital Environment.” The interdisciplinary five-day program is geared especially toward early-career historians and other scholars (doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows) in Medieval Studies as well as toward archivists, librarians, and e-scientists that engage with or specialise in this time period. No prior experience with digital research methods is required. Participants will need their own laptops. Through a number of hands-on sessions, participants will learn how to enhance their research with tools such as Abbreviationes, Classical Text Editor, and Manuscriptorium. They will also have the opportunity to experiment with the integrative CENDARI Virtual Research Environment. Lectures on the fundamentals of Digital Humanities and its prospects for Medieval Studies as well as field trips to cultural heritage sites in Prague will complete the program. The school will be held at the attractive Old Town venue of the Institute of Philosophy of the Czech Academy of Sciences. The closing date for applications is 15 April 2015 and a number of travel bursaries are available. Further details here: http://www.cendari.eu/summer-school-2015/

Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies Visiting Research Fellowships-Call for applications
by Lynn Ransom 11 Mar '15

11 Mar '15

**apologies for cross-posting** The University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce a new initiative, the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS) Visiting Research Fellowship program. Guided by the vision of its founders, Lawrence J. Schoenberg and Barbara Brizdle Schoenberg, SIMS aims to bring manuscript culture, modern technology, and people together to provide access to and understanding of our shared intellectual heritage. Part of the Penn Libraries, SIMS oversees an extensive collection of pre-modern manuscripts from around the world, with a special focus on the history of philosophy and science, and creates open-access digital content to support the study of its collections. SIMS also hosts the <http://dla.library.upenn.edu/dla/schoenberg/index.html> Schoenberg Database of Manuscripts and the annual <http://www.library.upenn.edu/exhibits/lectures/ljs_symposium.html> Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age, now in its eighth year. The SIMS Visiting Research Fellowships have been established to encourage research relating to the pre-modern manuscript collections at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries, including the Schoenberg Collection. Affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, located near other manuscript-rich research collections (the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, the Free Library of Philadelphia, the Chemical Heritage Foundation, and the Rosenbach Museum and Library, among many others), and linked to the local and international scholarly communities, SIMS offers fellows a network of resources and opportunities for collaboration. Fellows will be encouraged to interact with SIMS staff, Penn faculty, and other medieval and early modern scholars in the Philadelphia area. Fellows will also be expected to present their research at Penn Libraries either during the term of the fellowship or on a selected date following the completion of the term. Applicants can apply to spend 1, 2, or 3 months at SIMS. Project proposals should demonstrate that the Libraries' pre-modern manuscript resources are integral to proposed research topics. Recipients will be expected to work on-site at Penn Libraries for the duration of their fellowship, excluding possible short research trips in support of the proposed project to nearby institutions. Proposals with a digital component are encouraged though not required. A total of $15,000 per year will be divided among up to 3 fellows in increments of $5,000 per month. Awards must be used between July 1, 2015, and June 30, 2016. Applications are due May 15, 2015.

Writing History on the Web (seminar Paris 1)
by Octave Julien 05 Mar '15

05 Mar '15

Dear Colleagues, Starting next week, the PIREH’s seminar (Université Paris I Panthéon-Sorbonne) will address issues related to the writing of history on the Web. The first sessions may be of special interest for medievalists (see below). Best regards, Octave Julien ————————————————————— Chers collègues, Le séminaire "Structuration et analyse de données pour historien" du PIREH est cette année consacré à la question des écritures numériques de l'histoire. Les séances aborderont ce qu'impliquent les transformations induites par le numérique sur le métier d'historien : approche des sources, archivage du web, rapport à l'espace public... Le séminaire visera également à poser un regard d'historien sur les contenus produits par ces transformations et s'interrogera sur la façon dont ils peuvent être étudiés comme des objets d'histoire. Le programme des séances et les informations pratiques figurent dans le document en pièce jointe et sur https://www.univ-paris1.fr/index.php?id=532069 .
