CC images available
by Endres, William 16 Nov '16

16 Nov '16

Dear colleagues, I am happy to announce that I now have images available through a Creative Commons licensing from the Manuscripts of Lichfield Cathedral website: https://lichfield.ou.edu . These images include the 9th-century St Chad Gospels and Lichfield Cathedral’s 15th-century Wycliffe New Testament. I provide two sizes of images: medium-sized (the size I normally work with) and full-sized. For the St Chad Gospels, I include additional descriptive information in the metadata, such as chapter & verse numbers to facilitate use of the images. I will gradually add this information to the images for the Wycliffe New Testament. Because granting a CC license represents a generosity that exceeds most publicly funded libraries and museums, I include a donate<http://www.lichfield-cathedral.org/donate/donate> link in case anyone would like to express their appreciation. Lichfield Cathedral receives no state funding. Finally, I now have the website moved to its new home at the University of Oklahoma. You will notice that the images for download have corrected final adjustments. These images will replace those on the whole website soon. Best, Bill -- Manuscripts of Lichfield Cathedral https://lichfield.ou.edu Bill Endres University of Oklahoma English Department Norman, OK 73019 405-325-0831

Global Digital Humanities Symposium (3/16-17), Call for Proposals (Deadline 12/9)
by Kristen Mapes 10 Nov '16

10 Nov '16

Global Digital Humanities Symposium at Michigan State University March 16-17, 2017 Call for Proposals Deadline to submit a proposal: Friday, December 9, 11:59pm EST msuglobaldh.org Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to continue its symposium series on Global DH into its second year. Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the intersections of of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. The most engaged global DH scholarship, that which MSU champions <http://cplong.org/2016/10/critical-diversity-in-a-digital-age/>, values digital tools that enhance the capacity of scholarly critique to reflect a broad range of literary, historical, new media, and cultural positions, and diverse ways of valuing cultural production and knowledge work. Particularly valuable are strategies in which the digital form expresses a critique of the digital content and the position of the researcher to their material. With the growth of the digital humanities, particularly in under-resourced and underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including, among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation, digital rights, and the digital divide. We view the 2017 symposium as an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues. Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome. Michigan State University has been intentionally global <http://www.isp.msu.edu/about/about-isp/> for more than 60 years, with over 1,400 faculty involved in international research, teaching, and service. For the past 20 years, MSU has developed a strong research area in culturally engaged, global digital humanities. Matrix <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/>, a digital humanities and social science center at MSU, has done dozens of digital projects in West and Southern Africa <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio_categories/africa-related-projects/> that have focused on ethical and reciprocal relationships, and capacity building. WIDE <http://wide.msu.edu/> has set best practices for doing community engaged, international, archival work with the Samaritan Collections, Archive 2.0 <http://www2.matrix.msu.edu/portfolio-item/samaritan-archive-2-0/>. Today many scholars in the humanities at MSU are engaged in digital projects relating to global, indigenous, and/or underrepresented groups and topics. This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types, welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and particularly on the following themes and topics by Friday, December 9, 11:59pm EST: - Critical cultural studies and analytics - Cultural heritage in a range of contexts - How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital humanities work - Global research dialogues and collaborations - Indigeneity - anywhere in the world - and the digital - Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism - Global digital pedagogies - Digital and global languages and literatures - The state of global digital humanities community - Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change - The practice of digital humanities across textual, historical, and media divides - Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages, and economies - Open data and open access policies in a global, postcolonial context - Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context Presentation Formats: - 3-5-minute lightning talks - 15-minute papers - 90-minute workshop proposals Proposal form: https://goo.gl/forms/ClMqfXNSi9bAHURl1 Kristen Mapes Digital Humanities Coordinator College of Arts and Letters Michigan State University 718-216-5695 kristenmapes.com kmapes(a)msu.edu kmapes86(a)gmail.com

by Ransom, Lynn 09 Nov '16

09 Nov '16

Manuscript Studies: A Journal of the Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies aims to bring together scholarship from around the world and across disciplines related to the study of pre-modern manuscript books and documents. This peer-reviewed journal is open to contributions that rely on both traditional methodologies of manuscript study and those that explore the potential of new ones. We publish articles that engage in a larger conversation on manuscript culture and its continued relevance in today's world and highlight the value of manuscript evidence in understanding our shared cultural and intellectual heritage. Studies that incorporate digital methodologies to further understanding of the physical and conceptual structures of the manuscript book are encouraged. A separate section, entitled Annotations, features research in progress and digital project reports. We are delighted to announce that the Fall 2016 issue is out and available online through Project Muse (https://muse.jhu.edu/issue/35280 ). This issue is devoted to histories of collecting and provenance studies, featuring the following contributions: * Megan L. Cook, Joseph Holland and the Idea of the Chaucerian Book * Anne-Marie Eze, "Safe from Destruction by Fire": Isabella Stewart Gardner's Venetian Manuscripts * Julia Verkholantsev From Sinai to California: The Trajectory of Greek NT Codex 712 from the UCLA Young Research Library's Special Collections (170/347) * Eric Johnson and Scott Gwara, "The Butcher's Bill": Using the Schoenberg Database to Reverse-Engineer Medieval and Renaissance Manuscript Books from Constituent Fragments * William P. Stoneman, The Linked Collections of William Bragge (1823-1884) of Birmingham and Dr. Thomas Shadford Walker (1834-1885) of Liverpool * Peter Kidd, Medieval Origins Revealed by Modern Provenance: The Case of the Bywater Missal * Lisa Fagin Davis, Canons, Huguenots, Movie Stars, and Missionaries: A Breviary's Journey from Le Mans to Reno * Toby Burrows, Manuscripts of Sir Thomas Phillipps in North American Institutions * Hanno Wijsman, The Bibale Database at the IRHT: A Digital Tool for Researching Manuscript Provenance * Debra Taylor Cashion, Broken Books The Spring 2017 issue, guest-edited by Justin McDaniel, Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Pennsylvania, will be devoted to a survey of major Thai manuscript collections around the world.
