Dear friends,
I am very pleased to announce that the reconstruction of Otto Ege, "Fifty Original Leaves from Medieval Manuscripts" no. 46 that was undertaken by my students at the Simmons University School of Library and Information Science this fall is now online!
https://fragmentarium.ms/overview/F-64n1
If you have one of these Ege portfolios in your collection, you will find your leaf no. 46 in this reconstruction (with the exception of three collections from whom we hope to acquire images soon). Our analysis of the recovered portion of the liturgy suggests that this Book of Hours was made for the Use of Rouen or Coutances, although because the evidence is incomplete we cannot say this with absolute certainty (the recovered portion of the manuscript includes the antiphon and chapter reading for None of the Hours of the Virgin as well as seven of nine Matins Responsories for the Office of the Dead, all of which combine to suggest the Use). You may wish to update your metadata accordingly.
This is the sixth Ege reconstruction undertaken by Simmons University students in my annual course, "The Medieval Manuscript from Charlemagne to Gutenberg." You can read about these fragmentology projects and the Ege-related work being undertaken by other scholars in this (updated) blogpost:
https://manuscriptroadtrip.wordpress.com/2019/07/14/manuscript-road-trip-fr…
if you are interested in working on leaves in your own collection to determine if they may have an Ege provenance, you may wish to refer to my Ege Field Guide, a shared folder in which you will find images of more than 100 dismembered associated with Ege as well as a table that amalgamates codicological data from my own field work with data from Scott Gwara's monograph, Otto Ege's Manuscripts:
https://www.dropbox.com/sh/u2lbhr26pgz882p/AAAYahDHUEwPhQ097CFIwnK3a?dl=0
The image filenames in this folder incorporate the Gwara handlist number, a short title, and the number of lines per page, to facilitate discoverability. For example, if you have a 27-line breviary leaf in your collection, searching for "27ll" in the Dropbox search box will result in four leaves, one of which is from a breviary. Alternatively, you could search for "breviary," which returns eight leaves, one of which has 27 lines per page. You can then use the data table to confirm if the dimensions and date/place of origin are a match for the leaf in question.
Wishing you happy hunting and all the best in the New Year -
Lisa

Dear DM Community;
I write on behalf of the Digital Medievalist Executive Board.
The Digital Medievalist has recently created a curated Zenodo community<https://zenodo.org/communities/dmwr/?page=1&size=20>, called the Digital Medieval Webinar Repository (DMWR) to house recorded presentations on medieval topics, especially those that include digital work. We already have several videos posted and ready for the community to access, and invite additional submissions to our growing collection.
As we launch this initiative, we hope to demonstrate the power of the DMWR for both scholars who have given virtual presentations at conferences or other organized venues, and for organizations who have hosted medieval scholarly presentations and recorded those events.
When scholars post to the DMWR community, they are following the best practices for digital preservation that encourage storing materials in multiple locales. Moreover, the retrieval and citation of a scholar's work is facilitated by the generation of a DOI and standard citation of the recorded presentation, and other members of the community can see, access, and search for their work within the curated collection.
When organizations post in the DMWR, they ensure the safekeeping of their contributors' work and create a public recall to the sponsored event. Contributions include a reference to the event for easy discovery, and should the organization's site ever fail, event participants can rest assured that back-up copies are stored in the DMWR collection for easy retrieval.
The DMWR program is a win-win; the community benefits by having a central location where materials of interest to medievalists are stored, and scholars and organizations can feel confident that others can find, access, and cite their recorded work appropriately.
Cataloguing a recording is a simple affair, and once the materials are gathered, it should take no longer than 10 minutes. Each contribution requires three things:
1. An MP4 file of the recording;
2. A transcript of the presentation in pdf format (automatically generated in youtube, for example);
3. All standard bibliographic information to generate the citation and tag the recording.
Members of the Digital Medievalist Board are happy to answer questions for posters. Uploading to Zenodo is not all that complicated, but please do reach out if there are problems or concerns.
Thank you for your support of the Digital Medievalist, and please feel free to circulate this call to anyone who might find it of interest.

Dear colleagues,
The Venice Centre for Digital and Public Humanities (VeDPH) gladly
announces the publication of its inaugural volume 2020 of magazén,
International Journal for Digital and Public Humanities.
The interdisciplinary journal is undergoing double-blind peer-review and
will be published twice per year in open access by Edizioni Ca’ Foscari.
It aims at stimulating an interdisciplinary discourse on methods and
practices serving a collaborative development of durable, reusable,
shared resources for research and learning in the field of digital and
public humanities. Volume 2020 features ten articles by international
scholars divided in two issues and devoted to the topic of “Fusions”,
thus analysing the intertwining landscape emerging from the recent
development of digital and public humanities.
As a matter of fact, in the last two decades much effort was placed in
defining separate disciplinary fields, in order to canonise and validate
the use of digital methodologies or public approaches in the specific
subsets of the humanities.
However, evidence suggests that digital and public challenges facing
individual disciplines are actually common to the entire field of the
humanities, thus favouring a cross-disciplinary approach rather than
thematic isolation.
Issue 1 can already be accessed online at
https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/it/edizioni4/riviste/magazen/2020/1/,
while issue 2 will soon be made available on the same platform. Please

UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Network Workshop: 'Capacity enhancement in DH: training and beyond'
15 December 2020
The UK-Ireland Digital Humanities Association<https://gtr.ukri.org/projects?ref=AH%2FV002163%2F1> (PIs: Prof. Jane Winters and Dr. Michelle Doran) is a network funded by the AHRC and IRC that brings together different stakeholders in Digital Humanities and related fields to consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression, among other key questions. Institutions and individuals engaged with the network will work to propose ways in which the UK and Ireland can build a collaborative vision for the field, and create new and sustainable long-term partnerships in alignment with the international community.
The objectives of the workshop, organised for the network by King's Digital Lab, are the following:
* Contribute to developing pathways to sustained, effective and widespread capacity-building for DH researchers in the UK and Ireland across disciplines, institutions and career stages.
* Contribute to define specific pathways for training highly interdisciplinary humanists who are able to work across multiple sectors, including and beyond academia.
* Contribute to the broad inclusion of communities beyond individuals based in research-performing organisations, including cultural heritage institutions, the arts and creative industries, and interested citizen scientists.
* Provide opportunities for individual researchers to develop their skills and networks, and to contribute to international debates about the future of the field.
* Consider and interrogate critically the concepts of sustainability, inclusivity, training, advocacy and career progression.
The workshop discussions and findings will contribute to a discussion paper outlining capacity gaps in UK and Ireland digital humanities, with reference to the European and global contexts, and training strategies that could be used by a future UK-Ireland DH Association to resolve them.
To register and receive the link to the event, please visit the workshop's Eventbrite page<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ahrc-uk-ireland-digital-humanities-research-…>.
