This year's theme is the implications of the increasing reliance of the scholarly community upon digital images and technologies. Bringing together art historians, palaeographers, medievalists and the Digital Humanities, the symposium will share theoretical approaches and methodologies and, crucially, test prevalent assumptions. -------------------------------- How to propose a paper -------------------------------- Papers of 20 minutes in length are invited on any relevant aspect of digital approaches to the representation of script and manuscript art. We would like to facilitate a wide-ranging debate and so welcome submissions from scholars whose primary experience is not with digitising images, or necessarily the medieval period. Possible topics could include: * the practical and theoretical consequences of the use of digital images * the relevance of art historical theories to the digital representation of medieval manuscripts * the problems and potentials presented by digital imaging technologies * palaeographical method for ‘Digital’ and ‘Analogue’ palaeography * reassessing the terminology used in manuscript studies and palaeography * reports from projects that make use of digitised images To propose a paper, please email a brief abstract (250 words max.) to digipal [at] kcl.ac.uk<http://kcl.ac.uk/>. The deadline for the receipt of submissions is 10.23pm on Friday 14th September 2012 Please note that it is our intention to collect selected papers from the symposium as part of a forthcoming publication and so you may wish to submit an abstract even if you can't attend. Several papers from last year's symposium are being edited as part of our forthcoming volume, "Digital Palaeography" (Ashgate). ---------------- Registration ---------------- Registration will officially open from Thursday 20th September, but if you'd like to pre-reserve a place, then please let us know at your earliest convenience by emailing digipal [at] kcl.ac.uk<http://kcl.ac.uk/>.

CFP NeDiMAH (1) expert meeting and (2) workshop
by Pierazzo, Elena 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

With the usual apologies for cross-posting ________________________________ Subject: CFP NeDiMAH (1) expert meeting and (2) workshop 1. EXPERT MEETING on Digital Scholarly Editions The working group on Digital Scholarly Editions of the European Research Network NeDiMAH (Network for Digital Methods in the Arts and Humanities, http://www.nedimah.eu) is organising an Experts’ Seminar on Wednesday, 21 November 2012 at the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands in The Hague. The seminar is being held in conjunction with the 9th conference of the European Society for Textual Scholarship, ‘Editing Fundamentals: Historical and Literary Paradigms in Source Editing’, 22-24 November 2012 in Amsterdam (http://www.textualscholarship.eu/conference-2012.html). The NeDiMAH working group on Digital Scholarly Editions seeks to promote the use of existing digital technologies in the production of scholarly editions, bringing together experts from a wide variety of disciplines and time-periods to establish the state of the art and recommend a set of best practices in order to ensure maximum interoperability and long-term preservation of, and access to, digital data. In particular, the topics which will be addressed at the seminar are: • Theory: What is a digital edition? What is its purpose, and who are the intended users? What, in short, is the nature of the digital editorial endeavour? • Production: What are the various stages in the production of a digital edition? Standards for digital imaging and basic text encoding are now fairly well established, but there remain several fundamental issues yet to be resolved, such as how one can best deal with documenting and representing textual variation and the basic question of editing the text as opposed to editing the document (i.e. the text in situ). To what extent are collaborative/distributed editions the way forward? Proposals of not more than 500 words are invited by the 10th of September (to mjd(a)hum.ku.dk or elena.pierazzo(a)kcl.ac.uk). Please note that for this seminar we are particularly interested in methodological and theoretical contributions, rather than project reports. Speakers will be allotted 15 minutes for their presentations followed by 10 minutes of discussion. The seminar will close with a general round-table discussion. We are able to reimburse, up to a certain amount, people coming from one of the NeDiMAH contributing countries; please let us known if you want to be considered for this. Matthew Driscoll and Elena Pierazzo 2. WORKSHOP Using Large-Scale Text Collections for Research The NeDiMAH working group Using Large-Scale Text Collections for Research also hosts a workshop on Wednesday 21 November 2012 and also at the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands, in The Hague, The Netherlands/ The workshop Using Large-Scale Text Collections for Research: Status and Needs will be used to inventorize the availability of text corpora for researchers from different disciplines in the participating countries and languages. How large are the available corpora? For what purposes were they created? What kinds of mark-up do they contain? And which tools are available to help mining the corpora? What is missing in both texts and tools to make the corpus also useful for other research disciplines than the one it was originally created for? The first part of the day-long workshop will be used for an introductory paper by the group leader, followed by short papers of the participants sketching the situation in their country and language(s) and the needs of their own specific research discipline. The rest of the day will be dedicated to discussions about the topics addressed during the first parts: what are the shared positive points in the different countries/languages/disciplines? Is there an overlap in the different needs that were expressed? What can we learn from each other? Where can we push the developments further through a shared approach? Abstracts are invited before 10 September and can be sent to karina.van.dalen(a)huygens.knaw.nl Details about the abstract and about reimbursement possibilities can be found at http://drupal.p164224.webspaceconfig.de/workgroups/using-large-scale-text-c… ________________________________ Dr Elena Pierazzo Lecturer in Digital Humanities Chair of Teaching Committee Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Phone: 0207-848-1949 Fax: 0207-848-2980 elena.pierazzo(a)kcl.ac.uk www.kcl.ac.uk/ddh

Old English Aerobics changes
by Peter Baker 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

A quick note any for Old English teachers on this list who use my Old English Aerobics site (http://www.oldenglishaerobics.net). Beginning around the middle of August users must have accounts to access most of the resources (texts and exercises, and eventually more things) on the site. For instructors there will be some new goodies: anyone with an instructor account can very simply give students in their courses the ability to get their own student accounts. These accounts are linked to yours so that you can monitor students' performance on the on-line exercises, making it simpler to identify those who need additional help. There will also be easier access to the answer-keys for the traditional paper-based exercises. I am trusting that the benefits will be enough to offset any minor inconveniences. Though login won't be required before 15 August, it is possible to request accounts now. They are free, and I can promise that those who sign up won't be subjected to spam or other indignities. Further details on the site itself. Peter Baker

Inquisitions Post Mortem (1236-1509) project seeks your views
by Tupman, Charlotte 25 Jul '12

25 Jul '12

The Department of Digital Humanities at King's College London is undertaking a short information gathering exercise for a resource that is likely to be of great use to those studying fifteenth century England. The project is concerned with Inquisitions Post Mortem (IPMs), which are records of the lands held at death by tenants of the crown. Thousands of IPMs are held at the National Archives, and some have been calendared. Our project will make the IPMs from 1236 to 1509 a freely accessible digital resource for historians, genealogists, and other interested parties. We would very much value the input of experts in the field to ensure that we create a resource that best meets the needs of its users. If you would be interested in completing a brief questionnaire about the resource, please visit the IPM blog for more information: http://bit.ly/NHLhmW The questionnaire will be open until Friday 3rd August. If you have any questions about the project, please contact charlotte.tupman(a)kcl.ac.uk With many thanks, David Little Charlotte Tupman -- Dr. Charlotte Tupman Project Research Associate Department of Digital Humanities King's College London 26-29 Drury Lane London WC2B 5RL Tel: +44 (0)20 7848 7145 www.kcl.ac.uk/ddh
