Woruldhord Project
by James Cummings 02 Jul '10

02 Jul '10

FYI ------- Dear All, On behalf of Dr Stuart Lee and the Oxford University Faculty of English, I am pleased to announce the launch of the Woruldhord Project, which opened on the 1st of July 2010 and is now receiving submissions. The Woruldhord Project is a joint initiative of the Oxford University Computing Services and the Faculty of English. It aims to combine the expertise of literary scholars, historians, archaeologists, art historians and linguists together with material from museums, historical sites and members of the general public to create a comprehensive online archive of written, visual and audio-visual material related to Old English and the Anglo-Saxon period. The Project is currently inviting contributions from anyone researching or teaching on the Anglo-Saxon period at a university level. We are particularly interested in images, audio/video recordings, handouts, essays, articles, presentations, spreadsheets, databases, course notes, lesson plans and materials used in undergraduate teaching, but welcome submissions of any type. Any material submitted will be made freely available worldwide for educational purposes on the Project Woruldhord website (http://projects.oucs.ox.ac.uk/woruldhord/index.html), hosted by the University of Oxford. However, all intellectual property rights in the material will be retained by the contributor, contributors will be named on the site, and all visitors will be provided with a citation guide enabling them to properly acknowledge the authors of the resources. Contributors can also, if desired, attach links to their own or their University’s website to their contributions, increasing their own web presence. Timed to correspond with renewed public interest in the Anglo-Saxons following the recent discovery of the Staffordshire Hoard, this project presents an excellent opportunity to apply computing technology to the study of Anglo-Saxon literature, history and culture. It also aims to allow members of the public across the world to access rare or difficult-to-obtain material as well as the expertise of specialists in the field. We hope that academics and teachers are willing to share this material, especially if they feel it will be of benefit to the discipline. The Woruldhord Project follows on from the Great War Archive (http://www.oucs.ox.ac.uk/ww1lit/gwa/), a very successful project which collected manuscript material, letters and other materials from the First World War from March-November 2008. To submit material to the project, simply visit http://poppy.nsms.ox.ac.uk/woruldhord This page will take you through the simple-to-use submission process where you can upload your object and provide some basic information about it. Other pages that may be of interest include: http://projects.oucs.ox.ac.uk/woruldhord/ - The main website http://blogs.oucs.ox.ac.uk/woruldhord/ - The project blog http://projects.oucs.ox.ac.uk/woruldhord/faq/index.html - Our 'help' section including a 'how to get started guide' and an FAQ http://groups.google.com/group/project-woruldhord - A discussion group for the project If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email the project at: woruldhord(a)oucs.ox.ac.uk Thanks in advance for any contributions you may send!

book to review ?
by NORMAN 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

The l;atest list of books for review from BCMR, the classical equivalent to BMR, has this entry: > *Bodard, Gabriel and Simon Mahony. Digital research in the study of classical antiquity. Digital research in the arts and humanities. Farnham; Burlington, VT: Ashgate, 2010. xx, 210 p. $99.95. ISBN 9780754677734. > I suspect there are people on this List who could review it usefully. If you haven't done anything for the Bryn Mawr people, here's the paragraph they send about how to get books for review: > The following books are available for review this month. Qualified volunteers should indicate their interest by sending a message toclassrev(a)brynmawr.edu, with their last name and requested author in the subject line. They should state their qualifications (both in the sense of degrees held and in the sense of experience in the field concerned) and explain any previous relationship with the author. Volunteers are expected to have received their PhD. Those still writing their thesis should contact their supervisors to ascertain that a review is appropriate at this time and that the supervisor will vet and stand surety for the review. > -- Norman Hinton

DM lunch at DH2010 (London, Wednesday July 7)
by Dot Porter 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Dear DM Community, Many of you are aware of the Digital Humanities 2010 conference (to be held in London July 7-10), I hope some of you will be there as well. If you're curious, here is the website: http://dh2010.cch.kcl.ac.uk/ We'd like to give DM folks an opportunity to meet informally during the conference, so I'm working with Peter Stokes (who won't be able to attend the conference, but who lives in London) to organize a lunch on one of the days of the conference. It looks like Wednesday will be the best day to meet; although it's technically registration day (no sessions until the evening keynote and reception following), the other days have association AGMs during lunch, and we want to encourage people to attend those if they can. So... If you are going to be at DH2010, and/or if you live in London, and if you would like to meet informally with other DMers, and if you will be available at lunchtime on Wednesday July 7 (or, if you would like to petition that we aim for another day), please send me a message at dot.porter(a)gmail.com to let me know. Peter is looking at local venues, but it would help if we could have a rough estimate of how many people we might expect. Thanks! Hope to see some of you in London soon. Dot -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dot Porter (MA, MSLS) Digital Medievalist, Digital Librarian Email: dot.porter(a)gmail.com *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

DM Elections 2010
by James Cummings 29 Jun '10

29 Jun '10

Dear DM-L, You'll have seen the announcement posted recently concerning the Digital Medievalist Elections 2010, and I would also like to encourage you to vote in the elections. Digital Medievalist as a project and community of practice has grown steadily over the last few years and most of this is down to the hard work put in by the DM Board. The DM Board does more than merely oversee Digital Medievalist, it is a working board and all board members have contributed their time and energy, whether it is in copy-editing journal articles, arranging conference sessions, moderating news posts, or any other range of activities. It has been my pleasure to be Director of Digital Medievalist for the last year and we've undertaken some significant improvements to the way it works and hopefully it will continue to thrive in the future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the current and previous DM Board members for their hard work, enthusiasm, and commitment to Digital Medievalist. I would especially like to thank those DM Board members who have chosen not to stand again this year, Roberto Rosselli Del Turco and Dorothy Carr Porter, for their generous work over many years and hope that they will continue to be active DM volunteers. Marjorie Burghart and myself have chosen to add our names again to the very strong ballot of candidates up for election. Digital Medievalist is made up of all of the people who are part of this community: Digital Medievalist is not just the DM Board, but all of us working together. If you are receiving this email, then you are part of DM-L and thus part of the Digital Medievalist community. I would encourage any DM-L member who wants to contribute to the ongoing efforts of Digital Medievalist to take the first step in actively participating by voting in this election. A reminder that candidate biographies are available at: http://www.digitalmedievalist.org/election2010/ and that the ballot itself is available at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YFN6TLW Many thanks, Dr James Cummings Director, Digital Medievalist
