Dear Colleagues,
I have been involved for the past 20 years in the digital humanities project here at the University of Toronto, Baptisteria Sacra Index (BSI), https://bsi.dhn.utoronto.ca/ and https://eadh.org/projects/baptisteria-sacra-index. I am writing to ask my esteemed colleagues, if you or your institutions are currently engaged in the examination of 'sustainability' long-term preservation of digital humanities research projects. If so, I would be very interested in hearing about your plans and developments. Thank you for considering this request. Harriet

Dear DM-List members,
The Digital Medievalist Postgraduate Committee are delighted to announce that we have three new members!
Ségolène Gence is a doctoral researcher funded by CHASE AHRC at the University of Kent’s Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies. Her research interests reside at the intersections of material contexts of pre-modern religious literature, textual networks, early print culture, manuscript studies, comparative literature, and digital humanities. Ségolène’s current research focuses on English devotional literature from the fourteenth and fifteenth century, textual transmission, and manuscript studies using social network analysis, looking at the dynamic relationships between author, text, and audience.
Estelle Guéville is a French curator and researcher currently pursuing her PhD in Medieval Studies at Yale. She holds B.A.s in History and Art History and M.A.s in History and the Management of Cultural Heritage from Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. Before joining Yale, she worked for several cultural institutions in France and the Gulf, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Musée national du Moyen Age – Thermes de Cluny in Paris. Her research interests include the qualitative and quantitative study of manuscripts, as well as questions of authorship, attribution and copy. She is the co-creator of the Paris Bible Project, a digital humanities initiative studying abbreviations and special letter forms as markers of scribal practices.
Catrin Haberfield is a PhD student in English at Stanford University. They hold a BA in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford and an MA in Medieval and Early Modern Studies from the University of Manchester. Catrin now specialises in early medieval material and textual culture across the Insular world – in particular, using UX theory to identify the user journeys of textual objects and re-examine approaches to digitisation.
You can read more about all the members of the DM postgrad committee on the DM Website<https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/postgraduate-subcommittee/>.
We are still looking for new members!
Are you a Graduate Student or recent Postdoc in (Digital) Medieval Studies? Do you want to get actively involved in the Digital Medievalist community? Join the Digital Medievalist Postgraduate Committee of Coding Codices fame!
The Postgraduate Committee was created in 2019 to coordinate the organization of joint panels, production of podcasts, general social media presence, and promote peer-to-peer exchange. The goal is to increase the visibility of these infrastructures while initiating conversations on interdisciplinary work, necessary skills, and acknowledging the need to reform university curricula in the medieval context and thus contribute to an overarching perspective towards current debates on the profiling of disciplines in the humanities between traditional and innovative/alternative requirements.
More info about the committee and our organisation can be found here<https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/bylaws-of-the-postgrad-committee/>.
Are you interested? Or do you know someone who could be a good fit for our group? Great! Get (them) in touch with one of our members or write to us directly at dmpostgrads(a)gmail.com<mailto:dmpostgrads@gmail.com>.
We look forward to hearing from you!

With apologies for cross-posting and the tight deadline…
The Digital Classicist London seminar invites proposals for the Summer 2023 series. We are looking for seminars on any aspect of the ancient or pre-colonial worlds, including history, archaeology, language, literature, cultural heritage or reception, that address innovative digital approaches to research, teaching, dissemination or engagement. Seminars that speak to the ancient world beyond Greco-Roman antiquity are especially welcome.
Seminars will be held fortnightly through June and July in the Institute of Classical Studies, Senate House, London, and will be simultaneously streamed to remote audiences on Youtube, but we hope most speakers will be physically present in London. We have a small budget to support travel for speakers within the UK.
Please send an abstract of 300 words to <gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk> (clearly marked "Digital Classicist London") by the end of Monday May 1.

Dear colleagues,
Let me share with you an invitation to a webinar taking place on April 19 from 15.00 CET as a part of the Hagener Forschungsdialog organized by the Fernuniversität Hagen.
How even a small project can build a large manuscript database: lessons learned from the Innovating Knowledge project
The webinar is specifically intended for those who are contemplating developing an online manuscript database and would like to get practical tips about how to start a database project and manage database development. We will be also talking about the growing ecosystem of small digital manuscript metadata projects (or SDMMPs) in Medieval Studies that has sprung up in the last decade and see some examples of successful SDMMPs.
If you are intrigued by the topic, you can register for the webinar until this Sunday (16 April) at: https://www.fernuni-hagen.de/geschichte/praesenzen/lg1/0423-online-vortrag_…
Kind regards,
Evina Stein
