Digital Classicist London Seminar Historical Ecology of Southern Burgundy Scott Madry, UNC Chapel Hill Friday June 10, 2022. 17:00 (UK time). Online only. Watch live at https://youtu.be/5noIaELDgps<https://youtu.be/5noIaELDgps> For some forty years now I have conducted, along with several colleagues, a long-term regional study of the relationships between peoples and their cultures and the environment in the region that is now southern Burgundy, France. We have, using an inherently interdisciplinary, even trans-disciplinary approach, investigated how people interact with the landscape over a period of 2,000 years, from the Iron Age to the present day. We have brought together archaeologists, historians, ecologists, geologists and more, focusing on how peoples both influence and are influenced by their environment using the approach of Historical Ecology. I have focused much of my part of this larger, on-going work on the application of advanced technologies to such regional and temporal studies. These include historical cartography, aerial photography and remote sensing, Global Navigation Satellite Systems (like the U.S. GPS), digital data archiving, and the integration of disparate data derived from many sources in our long-standing Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I see GIS as an integrative context where the data from many research disciplines and approaches can be both stored and analyzed, displayed and shared. We have found that our Historical Ecology approach to this work allows us to bring together disciplinary approaches, data, and perspectives, and to synthesize these in ways that are not possible within any single discipline or suite of technologies. I am also a very strong proponent of Free and Open Source (FOSS) software, and the great majority of our technical work is done using open source tools that can be freely shared, modified, and adapted. ALL WELCOME

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Hello DM community! CFP open now, with submissions due June 1, for the Medieval Academy of America's 2023 Annual Meeting in Washington, DC. Manuscript Fragments and Fragmentology at the Library of Congress<http://www.medievalacademy.org/page/2023AnnualMeeting#ManuscriptFragments> Session held on-side at the Library of Congress Friday, February 24, 2023 With the aim of identifying and reconstructing broken books, the field of Fragmentology has adopted digital tools and shared virtual workspaces. What data do we gather and what stories do we tell with this emerging field of research? How are librarians, curators, collectors, historians, musicologists, textual scholars, students, and digital humanists collaborating and producing new knowledge? How do these bits of books intersect with nationality and identity, and how do these constructs impact the scholarly work of identifying and reconstructing manuscripts? This session will be hosted onsite at the Library of Congress, and although it is not limited to any geographical scope, new research on DC-area collections of medieval manuscript fragments is especially welcome. Organizers: Marianna Stell (Reference Librarian, Rare Book and Special Collections Division, Library of Congress) and Matthew J. Westerby (Research Associate, Center for Advanced Study in the Visual Arts, National Gallery of Art) Moderator: Lisa Fagin Davis (Medieval Academy of America) Details: https://www.medievalacademy.org/page/2023AnnualMeeting#ManuscriptFragments Submission details: https://www.medievalacademy.org/page/2023AnnualMeeting#Submissions 98th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America 23-26 February, 2023 The 98th Annual Meeting of the Medieval Academy of America will take place at the Grand Hyatt Washington in downtown Washington, DC.

Digital Archive for Medieval Latin Culture» [www.mirabileweb.it] project maintained by SISMEL (International Society for the Study of Medieval Latin, Via Montebello 7, I-50123 Florence www.sismelfirenze.it). It is intended that the fellows will carry out their fellowships at the seat of the SISMEL following the development agenda of the MIRABILE project, with a monthly stipend of CHF 2,500 (Swiss francs). Applications should be submitted (with curriculum vitae and motivation letter) by July 1, 2022 via email to: Prof. Jean-Yves Tilliette (Jean-Yves.Tilliette(a)unige.ch). The results of the evaluation procedure will be published by August 31, 2022. Winners will be given the opportunity to start the fellowship from the beginning of October 1st, 2022. MIRABILE-ATLAS Fellowship core objectives 1. On-line publication, with related search functions for the search and visualization, of data present in MIRABILE on an atlas of medieval culture with related cross-searches and interactive navigation over the data retrieved from the database. All data will be transformed in JSON, which is the standard format for the management of data used by Elastic Search for indexing. 2. Integration with information present in MIRABILE's databases (such as the author, the texts, the manuscripts that conserve them and the bibliography). The development of this new module will provide the ability to show those database informations on a map. The geographical data will be loaded by the user inserting it in a text field. To facilitate the user, a lemmatization algorithm will be used, it will analyze the text contained in the document by detecting the entries in it. 3. A user interface that will integrate the search engine results, will be implemented in the new project, providing a way to view the data on an interactive map. People with the following characteristics can apply for one of the following profiles or for both, by indicating it explicitely 1. First profile Ability to understand and process data from database to JSON format and link them to meta-textual information present in MIRABILE (with knowledge of cartography); Good knowledge of Latin Knowledge of JSON format and OpenStreetMap Basic knowledge of authors, texts and manuscripts of medieval Latinity Basic knowledge of the problems concerning the transmission of medieval texts 2. Second profile Knowledge of software development methodologies for web-oriented applications, both in front-end and back-end for access to sql-type databases. Good knowledge of the http protocol Good written and oral English Knowledge of javascript, html and css Other desired skills Knowledge of linux systems SCM software GIT Angular 7+ Node.js Elastic Search JSON format For further information : presidenza(a)sismelfirenze.it http://www.sismelfirenze.it Applications should be sent to : Jean-Yves.Tilliette(a)unige.ch http://www.zenokarlschindler-foundation.ch THE FOUNDATION WILL NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION, JUSTIFICATION NOR REASON FOR THE DECISIONS CONCERNING THE ACCEPTANCE OR NOT OF AN APPLICATION.
