Symposium on Cultural Heritage Markup
by Hugh Cayless 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Dear all, I'm going to be chairing the symposium announced below and would love it if we could turn it into a really good, deep discussion of what we've done right, what we're doing wrong, and how cultural heritage markup (or its equivalents) can be made better in the future. Heretics and True Believers welcome! --Hugh Cultural Heritage Markup: Using Markup to preserve, understand, and disseminate cultural heritage materials a Balisage pre-conference symposium Monday August 10, 2015 Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, Bethesda, MD, USA Markup and markup technologies are used in a wide variety of cultural heritage projects by linguists, students of literature, librarians, historians, curators, and others. Markup is used behind the scenes in archives, libraries, and museums to create and store metadata and the textual content of a wide variety of materials both textual and artefactual. We want to know how you or your project are using markup to preserve, analyze, disseminate, or curate materials of long-term value to society. Balisage is an excellent venue to discuss both theoretical and practical questions. Is cultural heritage markup essentially different from industrial markup? Is it inherently more heterogeneous, more complex? Are “industrial” tools like XML and HTML really appropriate for cultural heritage materials? How well will standards like TEI and EAD serve us as technology progresses? We dedicate this day to discussion of the challenges and possibilities of markup technologies used in the preservation of our cultural heritage and its transmission to future generations. We welcome proposals to present at the Symposium. Topics may include, but are not limited to: • Representing heterogeneous materials • Data modeling to support scholarly research • Building for the long term, even after the money has run out • Using/repurposing tools that weren’t designed for the kind of thing you’re doing • Is XML really appropriate for representing texts of scholarly interest? • Is XML really appropriate for representing metatdata about non-textual artefacts? • What does it mean for cultural heritage texts to be interoperable? Is it desirable? Is it possible? • Shared tag sets. Do shared markup vocabularies (e.g., TEI, EAD, LIDO, CDWA) do more harm than good? Full papers should be submitted by 17 April 2015. All papers are peer-reviewed — we pride ourselves that you will seldom get a more thorough, skeptical, or helpful review than the one provided by Balisage reviewers.

Digitally Reconstructing the Beauvais Missal
by Lisa Fagin Davis 24 Mar '15

24 Mar '15

Dear friends and colleagues, Working with the "Broken Books" project at St. Louis University, I am embarking on a project to digitally reconstruct the Beauvais Missal, a beautiful late thirteenth-century French manuscript that was dismembered by dealer Philip Duschnes in 1942 and sold off leaf by leaf by Duschnes and Otto Ege. I have published my handlist of more than eighty known leaves in my latest blog post: https://manuscriptroadtrip.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/manuscript-road-trip-re… Please take a look and let me know if you know of any leaves I may have missed! Many thanks - Lisa -- Lisa Fagin Davis Executive Director Medieval Academy of America 17 Dunster St., Suite 202 Cambridge, Mass. 02138 Phone: 617 491-1622 Fax: 617 492-3303 Email: LFD(a)TheMedievalAcademy.org

Workshop: Digital Text Editing and Knowledge Transfer, May 14th (London School of Advanced Study)
by Elli Bleeker 19 Mar '15

19 Mar '15

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Dear community, We are pleased to announce a one-day workshop at the University of London School of Advanced Study (SAS) on sharing digital text editing training and teaching methods. The workshop takes place on *May 14, 2015* and is organised and endorsed by NeDiMAH, DARIAH-RS, Erasmus +, and the DiXiT Network. Over the past decades, those active in developing a range of digital scholarly editing practices have built up a large body of knowledge about digital tools and methods that enable the development, presentation, and analysis of digital texts. This has resulted in a wide variety of methods for teaching and training of text editing. However, those who have to adapt quickly to working in a digital scholarly editing environment are often not aware of these different training methods. As a consequence, they might be overlooking available resources, or even re-inventing the wheel. The event will bring together teachers of digital editing with a group of people who have faced the need to learn more about this area, especially those working in commercial publishing as well as research projects. A number of key practitioners will be invited to discuss the core resources available for text editing, and how expertise can be shared more widely. Specifically, we are looking to see how the experience of those in academia who teach and research text editing can contribute to the development of a core set of training materials for those new to the field, and how we can have better knowledge transfer around digital text editing. The underlying aim of the workshop is therefore to scope what is already available in terms of training materials, and to develop a methodology to assess different kinds of teaching material. This critical overview will assist the community in the further development of teaching material for text editing. As an output of the workshop, a basic and open curriculum will be developed and published as an online resource by NeDIMAH. The workshop will be in English and is open to anyone interested in the field of text editing; *some previous experience with text editing and/or teaching is required. * Please register on the EventBrite page <http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/workshop-digital-text-editing-and-knowledge-t…>. A limited number of *travel bursaries are available* to postgraduates and early career researchers in countries that are part of the NeDiMAH network. If you wish to apply for a bursary, please contact the organisers through the online form before *April 15*. With kind regards, Lorna Hughes, School of Advanced Study, University of London Elena Pierazzo, University of Grenoble Elli Bleeker, University of Antwerp

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.
