Medieval Manuscripts in the United States
by Lisa Fagin Davis 21 Sep '13

21 Sep '13

Subscribers to this list may be interested in my blog, a virtual "road trip" around the United States visiting a different collection of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts every week. I'll be focusing not just on the manuscripts but also looking at how (if) they've been digitized and catalogued and in what formats: http://manuscriptroadtrip.wordpress.com/ - Lisa Fagin Davis

Fwd: FW: CFP: "Digitizing the Medieval Archive"
by Daniel O'Donnell 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

*Digitizing the Medieval Archive* An International Conference Centre for Medieval Studies – University of Toronto *–* April 25/26, 2014 *David Greetham (The Graduate Center, CUNY)* *Stephen G. Nichols (Johns Hopkins University)* *Caroline Mac**é (KU Leuven)* *Consuelo Dutschke (Columbia University Library)* Discussion about the digitization of archival fonds and library holdings pertaining to the Middle Ages boasts a wide profusion both in online settings and in real time. As the question of how medievalists may work within this digital environment becomes an increasingly more widely discussed topic, we invite scholars in the Humanities and Social Sciences to convene in Toronto to consider and discuss the possibilities of the digitized medieval archive. There has been and continues to be considerable variation in the introduction, evaluation and continuation of digital storage. Digital technology has expanded and complicated the idea of the medieval archive. In bringing together the two concepts, digitization and archivization, we aim to address questions about the dissemination of and access to materials and research, but also such long-standing questions relating to the methodological and practical ways we carry out research and think about our material – thinking digitally about the Middle Ages. This conference sets out to explore ways in which medievalists might harness the vast, digital possibilities for a cross-institutional and interdisciplinary medieval archive. Possible topics may include but are not limited to the following: Implications of digital archives for the editing of medieval texts Methodologies and/or ideologies behind archivization The archivization of already existing digital databases Digitized archives/collections as enabling or limiting research The digital (re)construction of medieval collections Compilation and order of medieval texts Textual forms / reading methods Fluidity of the medieval text and the Internet The digital conglomeration of visual and narrative data Digital visualization of medieval documents, art and literature Please submit a short C.V. and abstracts of *250 words *by *November 1, 2013*for consideration. digitizingmedievalarchive(a)gmail.com digitizingmedievalarchive.wordpress.com Follow us on twitter: L.Faibisoff@DigiArchive

Medieval Colloquium - new online event at Collegium Volatile. Call for Lecturers.
by Emilia Żochowska 20 Sep '13

20 Sep '13

Dear Colleagues, I have a pleasure to invite you join Medieval Colloquium - in this new project we want to socialize with Medieval great people. Please find all details and an invitation for an online meeting below. Apologies for any crossposting. With best regards, Emilia Żochowska Collegium Volatile coordinator emilia(a)collegiumvolatile.com Medieval Colloquium: We talk with the Old Masters. Call for lecturers. Being a Medievalist is so much fun mostly because of the colourful and fascinating personalities you encounter. It´s all about people. Medievals are sophisticated and primitive, their discussions and wars are full of zeal, their problems are fresh and their answers - surprising. Let´s begin this new season at Collegium Volatile by meeting some really interesting Old Masters. Medieval Colloquium is an online event and anyone can join. Each week we watch a short video lecture given by an expert Medievalist who talks about his or her favourite Medieval personality (a thinker, an artist or a historical protagonist). We also read a short text assigned for that week: a source text related to the person we discuss. The same week we have a live online meeting (using video, voice and typing) to ask questions and share our ideas on the subject. Participants are also invited to share notes and links with each other. All the activities are available only to registered Colloquium participants (they are not publically visible on the web). We also plan to publish ebook proceedings with all the lectures beautifully edited and illustrated. If you would like to join the lecturers team - come to the online meeting 25 Sept 2013 at 22.00 CEST time (please find your time here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Medieval+Colloquiu… Please register for the meeting here: https://www.coursesites.com/s/_MedCo Type the access code: VERBA VOLANT If you are unable to join the meeting but you would like to give a lecture, please contact Emilia Zochowska, Collegium Volatile coordinator: emilia(a)collegiumvolatile.com As a lecturer, you will be asked to: 1. Plan and record one video lecture (ca. 20 min) presenting your Medieval idol/source of inspiration. It may be a narrated PowerPoint presentation. 2. Choose and assign a short reading for the students (source text in translation). 3. Upload the video and the source text to Collegium Volatile webpage. 4. Join the online discussion about your lecture (moderated by another member of the team) 5. Prepare a written version of your lecture (if you want to publish in our ebook proceedings). This event is for fun - and let´s make it a really bright and learned entertainment. In your lecture, you are welcomed to include many details, lots of illustrations and technical terms. It does not have to be “A short introduction to…” or “Life and works”. You are welcomed to share your passion and expertise with intelligent and enthusiastic public. We hope to make it a great opportunity to improve your professional network and get some fresh perspective on your subject. You will also gain a bit of experience as an online educator. Collegium Volatile is an international community of academic teacher and students. We teach online. We learn for passion, not degrees. Visit us at http://collegiumvolatile.com
