This book examines this question by exploring a range of advanced imaging technologies, from multispectral to 3D to reflectance transformation imaging. To understand imaging technologies requires an understanding of the complex materiality of what is being digitized and, to this end, the book focuses on the relationship between digital technologies and the complex materiality of manuscripts and the human bodies that engages them. From this perspective, the chapters explore imaging technologies, interfaces to present digital surrogates, and limitations to and enhancements through the digital. But lest past photographic information be lost, the book also examines historical photographs, exploring their rich visual information, and how digitizing and comparing them transforms what can be known. Examples and innovations from the author’s work digitizing the eighth-century St. Chad Gospels at Lichfield Cathedral are provided. This book is essential reading for all those involved in large and small scale manuscript digitization projects in both scholarly and cultural heritage contexts. Bill Endres is an Assistant Professor in the Department of English, University of Oklahoma, USA. He is a digital humanist who employs advanced imaging technologies on manuscripts such as the eighth-century St. Chad Gospels.

Fwd: H-Digital-History: CFP The Digital Middle Ages in Ireland and Beyond (A Roundtable), ICMS Kalamazoo 2020

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: H-Digital-History: CFP The Digital Middle Ages in Ireland and Beyond (A Roundtable), ICMS Kalamazoo 2020 Datum: Thu, 15 Aug 2019 09:01:51 -0400 Von: H-Net Notifications <drupaladmin(a)mail.h-net.org> An: georg.vogeler(a)GMX.DE <georg.vogeler(a)GMX.DE> ----------H-NET---------- Greetings Georg Vogeler, A new item has been posted in H-Digital-History. CFP The Digital Middle Ages in Ireland and Beyond (A Roundtable), ICMS Kalamazoo 2020 by Vicky McAlister CFP The Digital Middle Ages in Ireland and Beyond (A Roundtable), ICMS Kalamazoo 2020, May 2020, Western Michigan University Sponsored by the American Society for Irish Medieval Studies (ASIMS) This session will discuss how scholars and students can use digital technologies to achieve a more nuanced understanding of medieval culture. At ICMS “Kalamazoo” in 2019 ASIMS sponsored the very successful Digital Castles roundtable. Particularly enlightening discussion during this session centered on the ways we can use the digital humanities to engage students in our work as scholars. Consequently, we would like to broaden the scope and appeal of a digital humanities session proposed for Kalamazoo 2020. While the geographic focus is on Ireland, we particularly welcome proposals that discuss medieval Ireland’s connections with the wider world. This panel considers innovative approaches towards better understanding, through digital means, the material culture of medieval Ireland. As so many of 2019’s attendees (as well as the majority of ASIMS members) are based at teaching focused institutions, we plan to particularly emphasize how digital projects can be accomplished on a budget and at a distance from the geographic area of study. Presentations will be of less than ten minutes’ duration, with ample time for audience participation and discussion. Another benefit of the session’s approach is its multidisciplinarity, reflecting approaches from history, manuscript studies, archaeology, art history and literature. This session will therefore provide a venue for an exciting interdisciplinary dialogue, framed within the digital humanities. Please send your abstract to Vicky McAlister, Southeast Missouri State University, vmcalister(a)semo.edu [1], by *Friday, September 6th, 2019.* More information available at https://asims.org/kalamazoo/ [2] [1] mailto:vmcalister@semo.edu [2] https://asims.org/kalamazoo/ Read more or reply: https://networks.h-net.org/user/login%3Fdestination%3Dnode/4344414 ---------------------------------------------------------- Please help us keep H-Net free and accessible. $25 from each of our subscribers would fund H-Net for two years.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Roundtable "Digital Tools for Historical Research" at IMC in Leeds, 6-9 July 2020 Datum: Sat, 17 Aug 2019 22:54:24 +0200 Von: David Zbíral <david.zbiral(a)mail.muni.cz> An: Digital Medievalist <DMedievalist(a)googlegroups.com> Dear colleagues and friends, The Centre for the Digital Research of Religion at Masaryk University and the “Dissident Networks Project” (DISSINET, https://dissinet.cz/) hosted at this research centre are pleased to invite proposals for short presentations (5 min.) of various digital tools for historical research (e.g.: software, environments for the annotation of texts and digitized manuscripts, the adaptation of general-purpose digital tools to historical research, etc.) to be presented at a roundtable session on "Digital Tools for Historical Research" at the International Medieval Congress 2020 in Leeds, UK (6-9 July 2020). Each speaker should briefly present a tool and be prepared to answer questions from the audience on its use and application. The speakers may be connected with the developers of the tool, but this is in no way a requirement. They need only know it well enough to be able to present it to the audience and answer questions. Overall, the roundtable and subsequent discussions are intended to create a space for networking between users and potential users of such tools (and in some cases their developers). The participants in any session of the congress, including this roundtable, are expected to register for the congress and pay the registration fee and their travel costs. Please send brief informal proposals to David Zbíral at david.zbiral(a)mail.muni.cz by September 15th at the latest. Any proposal should contain the name of the tool or environment to be discussed, a short description of the tool, information about its availability (licence), and the address of a website where more information about the tool is available (if applicable). A formal abstract is not required. We look forward to your proposals! All the best, David.

EADH Conference 2020 - Call for hosts extended deadline: 20 Sept 2019
by Fabio Ciotti 16 Aug '19

16 Aug '19

Apologies for cross posting ******** The EADH Executive Committee has extended the deadline to send proposals to host the 2020 EADH Conference: the new deadline is 20th September 2019. As with the first EADH conference held in 2018, the second conference will strengthen the scientific, institutional and cultural relations between the members of the DH communities in Europe and in the Mediterranean area. The EADH Conference is organised in each year that the annual ADHO Digital Humanities conference takes place outside of Europe. We are particularly interested in proposals from institutions and regions that: • have recently developed or are developing digital humanities communities and organizations; • have not previously hosted an ADHO or the EADH Digital Humanities conference. Please note that the lead applicant must be a direct member of the EADH or of one of its Associate Organisations (currently AIUCD, DHD, DHN, CzADH and DH Russia). Organisation EADH Conferences are co-organised by two committees: The scientific organisation is conducted by a Programme Committee (PC) with 10 members and one Chair, appointed by the EADH Executive Committee. The local organiser may appoint up to two members of the PC. The PC decides the main theme of the conference, identifies and invites keynote speakers, produces and issues the Call for Papers, manages the review process, and decides the academic conference programme. Logistical organization will be the responsibility of a Local Organisation Committee, whose members and chair are appointed by the Local Organisers. The EADH recommends the adoption of the conference management system ConfTool for registering participants and including them in special events such as the banquet, but payments may be processed outside ConfTool by the local organiser if desired. Time Period and Venue Conference dates are decided by the Local Organiser, in consultation with EADH. It is recommended that the conference takes place in the autumn of 2020. Other large DH-related conferences in Europe should be taken into account when fixing the precise dates. The venue must be an academic or cultural institution in the European area in its broadest sense (including Russia and countries bordering the Mediterranean). The hosting institution should be able to accommodate a minimum of 300 delegates (including plenaries), at least three parallel sessions, and a communicative poster session. Bids Bids should contain a preliminary budget and up to two pages describing the motivations and logistical opportunities offered by the proposed venue. Bidders must take into account the EADH diversity and inclusivity statement. The venue for the 2020 conference will be decided by the EADH Executive Committee on the basis of: • academic and social impact of the conference for the LO; • logistical adequacy of the venue; • overall quality of the proposal. Bids should be submitted to secretary(a)eadh.org no later than July, 1, 2019. Structure of the Conference The Conference should be a 2/3-day event, avoiding weekends. Workshops and training events can precede the official conference days, depending on the availability of the LO. Presentations will be organized in 90-minute slots. The conference should have two keynote plenary talks. Typical presentations are: • full papers for theoretical or highly relevant methodological or technical issues; • short papers to present research ideas, approaches and projects; • panel or roundtable for one relevant topic discussed under different perspectives by 5/6 presenters; • posters. One session of the conference is reserved for short poster presentations. Bidders in coordination with the Programme Committee are encouraged to propose alternative formats and innovative organization of the conference in addition to this general framework. Budget The conference must be financially self-sustaining, but a backstop funding from the EADH of up to €5,000 can be discussed. The EADH will also provide bursaries for young scholars. The local organizers are expected to set six levels of registration fees: • faculty and staff with permanent contract, members of the EADH, associate organizations, and other constituent organizations of ADHO; • faculty and staff with permanent contract, non-members; • faculty and staff with fixed-term contract, members of the EADH, associate organizations, and other constituent organizations of ADHO; • faculty and staff with fixed-term contract, non-members; • students, members of the EADH, associate organizations, and other constituent organizations of ADHO; • students, non-members. Local Organisers are expected to set member/non-member rates so that the difference between member/non-member rates are higher than the EADH membership costs. Registration fees are recommended not to exceed €300 for the highest level of non-member fees to make the conference more accessible to the community. Social Programme Local Organisers are expected to arrange a diverse social programme, including a social dinner, that can contribute to the EADH community building. Synergies and Possible Sponsorship Suggested collaborative activities range from hosting of workshops and tutorials to co-organisation of the conference or financial support. Private in-kind and financial sponsorship is welcome, provided that any activity from sponsoring organizations is clearly distinct from, and does not influence, the academic program. -- Fabio Ciotti Department of "Studi letterari, Filosofici e di Storia dell’arte" - University of Roma "Tor Vergata" DH2019 PC Co-Chair Chief Editor "Umanistica Digitale" https://umanisticadigitale.unibo.it/ @Fabio_Ciotti <https://twitter.com/fabio_ciotti> f.ciotti(a)pec.it <https://twitter.com/fabio_ciotti>

Kalamazoo Panels
by Helen Davies 05 Aug '19

05 Aug '19

Dear all, Please consider applying for the following panels at the International Congress on Medieval Studies at Kalamazoo sponsored by The Lazarus Project and The Rossell Hope Robbins Library at the University of Rochester. Please send all papers to hrdavies5(a)gmail.com. The deadline for paper abstracts is September 15. ColLABoration Scholars have increasingly found themselves wrestling with the institutional and structural problems inherent in practicing the digital humanities within the modern university. Many have found that the traditional “lone scholar” approach so long embedded within humanities scholarship does not often translate well to large-scale DH projects, which may require skills in everything from (for example) multiple coding languages to paleography to imaging technology. At the Lazarus Project, we have adopted a laboratory model — in an English department — to approach the multifarious aspects of DH work that cannot and should not be the responsibility of any one person. We are looking for papers that deal with the advantages and disadvantages, problems and solutions, faced by scholars who have tried to integrate a collaborative or laboratory approach to the digital humanities within traditional humanities departments. These may be abstract (theory based), concrete (accounts of specific projects that faced these issues), or anything in between. Of particular interest might be the challenges of pitching and publishing interdisciplinary work and the tendency within traditional humanities fields — and traditional university bureaucracies — to value single-author publications and solo scholarly endeavors more highly than those involving co-authors and collaborators. We furthermore welcome papers that address interpersonal issues such as mentoring undergraduates in the digital humanities, integrating first-generation college students, awarding credit to collaboratively-produced results, and integrating the collaborative lab-based model into external departmental and interdisciplinary conversations. Mind the Gap: Bridging Departments and Disciplines in the Digital Humanities (Roundtable) At many universities and institutions, digital humanities projects exist in pockets around campus, tending as they do to spring up where individual professors are driving initiatives or leading projects. This roundtable seeks contributors who have participated in digital humanities projects that faced the issue of disciplinary divides. Accounts of interdisciplinary projects are welcome, as are theoretical examinations of the means of bridging the gap between different conceptual frameworks and practical treatments of organizing DH endeavors across departmental divides. How have you helped to foster an inclusive working environment that makes space for students and scholars of diverse disciplinary backgrounds and interests? What ideological blindspots hinder collaboration between departments? How can we change institutional expectations to facilitate collaborations across departments and disciplines? What unexpected benefits have you seen as a result of these collaborative initiatives? Medievalists are particularly equipped to deal with these challenges as we frequently must frequently work across departments and disciplines. We want to bring this insight and experience to discussion on the digital humanities. -- Helen Davies Andrew W. Mellon Fellow in Digital Humanities Lazarus Project Graduate Student Coordinator PhD Candidate English Department University of Rochester
