Digital Classicist Work-in-Progress Seminars (London, 2009) Call for Presentations The Digital Classicist will once more be running a series of Work-in-Progress seminars in Summer 2009, on the subject of research into the ancient world that has an innovative digital component. We are especially interested in work that involves equal collaboration with a computer scientist or that would be considered serious research in the Computing field as well as Classics, Archaeology, and/or Ancient History. The Work-in-Progress seminars run on Friday afternoons from June to August in Senate House, London, and are sponsored by the Institute for Classical Studies (UofL), the Centre for Computing in the Humanities (KCL), the Centre for e-Research (KCL), and the British Library. In previous years collected papers from the DC WiP seminars have been published in a special issue of an online journal (2006), edited as a printed volume (2007), and released as audio podcasts (2008); we anticipate similar publication opportunities for future series. Please send a 300-500 word abstract to gabriel.bodard(a)kcl.ac.uk by March 31st 2009. We shall announce the full programme in April.

Lots and lots in the French world. See issues of Le Medieviste and l'Ordinateur, published since 1978 or so by the IRHT. Contact Paul Bertrand at IRHT for specific suggestions. The name of Lucie Fossier springs to mind.

Suggestions for pre-web digital medieval studies
by Dot Porter 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Dear List, In 2009, the Digital Medievalist Journal will be publishing a special issue on the lessons learned from pre-web digital medieval projects. The editors have compiled a list of scholars we will be inviting to submit articles for this issue, however we feel the list as it stands is rather Anglo-centric. We are turning to the list to suggest potential authors - either scholars who themselves developed pre-web projects, or who have studied such projects with an historical view. We would especially like the names of non-US, non-Canadian, and non-English scholars. Please send suggestions to the DM list, or directly to the DM Editorial Board (editors(a)digitalmedievalist.org). Many thanks, Dot -- Dot Porter (MA, MSLS) Metadata Manager Digital Humanities Observatory (RIA), Pembroke House, 28-32 Upper Pembroke Street, Dublin 2, Ireland -- A Project of the Royal Irish Academy -- Phone: +353 1 234 2444 Fax: +353 1 234 2400 http://dho.ie Email: dot.porter(a)gmail.com

*Digital Manuscript Specialist* *Stanford** University** Libraries & Academic Information Resources* The Digital Manuscript Specialist will serve as a key team member on a collaborative project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. The project supports the development and conduct of a workshop that will examine specific instances of research and teaching based on selected medieval manuscript collections with a view to defining certain parameters of future work. Instances of such research and teaching involve several humanistic disciplines and auxiliary sciences like paleography and codicology, and focus special attention to approaches that rely heavily or essentially on the availability and use of data in digital form. The project is especially interested in the development or exercise of tools and architectures that (1) facilitate access to materials in multiple digital collections, (2) link sites and collections via common or cross-walked metadata schema, (3) link text and image at the feature or information content level, (4) link primary materials and secondary scholarship, and (5) help establish specifications for new and future projects. The Digital Manuscript Specialist will work as a part of a small team charged to analyze the overlapping and intersecting requirements of the use-cases in the context of digitized manuscript collections generally. Required Knowledge · A postgraduate degree in a relevant subfield of medieval or early modern studies, with significant experience and background (formal or informal) in descriptive metadata encoding of digital manuscripts. · Core technical skills: experience with XML, and specifically descriptive metadata schemas such as TEI, EAD, METS, and MODS. · The ability to blend domain expertise in medieval manuscript studies with technical expertise in prevailing standards and best practices in the development of digital manuscript tools and repositories. · Excellent organizational and communication skills, and proven ability to meet deadlines. · Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively and successfully in a team-based environment. · Minimum related experience required: 1 year; 2-3 years desired Distribution of Effort: · Consult with the six PI’s allied with the project to develop and execute use-cases that demonstrate the potential of digital manuscript projects and that suggest future directions for interoperability that support teaching and research. (20%) · Consult with the six PI’s and Stanford Libraries’ technical staff on various projects to develop XML schema for describing digitized medieval artifacts and related secondary works in ways that support teaching and research goals, and comply with community best practices and standards. (30%) · Analyze tools, metadata approaches and technical architectures for selected digital manuscript projects and repositories. (30%) · Produce an integrated report on the outcomes of the use cases and the framework for interoperability they suggest. (20%) This is a grant-funded position with a maximum length of 12 months. The position is available beginning April 1, 2009, but the exact start date is negotiable. No matter the start date, however, the job ends on March 31, 2010.

The Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference, Cambridge 24-26 July 2009
by Jenny Wright 20 Jan '09

20 Jan '09

Please could you post this call for papers on the mailing list? Thank you, Jenny Wright -------------- The Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference, Cambridge 24-26 July 2009: ACCESS AND RIGHTS Dear Colleagues, The Islamic Manuscript Association is pleased to announce that the Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference will be held at Christ's College, University of Cambridge, UK from 24-26 July 2009. It will be hosted by the Thesaurus Islamicus Foundation and the Centre of Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies, University of Cambridge. The Association invites submissions of papers for its annual conference on topics related to the care, management, and study of Islamic manuscripts. In 2009, the Conference will specifically address the issue of access to manuscripts. Improving access to manuscripts through digitisation and electronic ordering and delivery systems whilst ensuring their proper long-term preservation is fundamental to the successful future study of the Islamic heritage. Presently, technologies are available that have the potential to transform the way manuscripts are studied; however, the access these technologies can allow is counterbalanced by collection holders' concerns regarding their legal rights and the financial sustainability of their organisations. During the Fifth Islamic Manuscript Conference these vital issues will be discussed by our invited speakers and selected paper presenters. As in previous years, the Conference will be organised around the Association's four main interest groups: cataloguing, conservation, digitisation, and publishing and research. Papers on access naturally falling into these broad categories will be included in the relevant panels, so please make clear to which interest group your submission relates. We will also accept submissions related to topics that do not fall directly under the purviews of the interest groups. These may be papers about specific manuscript projects, library collections, research on a particular manuscript, etc. Please note that the total number of papers accepted will not exceed 25 and preference will be given to speakers who have not presented papers at the Association's previous conferences. This invitation is open to members and non-members of the Association. The Conference will be bilingual in Arabic and English and submissions will be accepted in both languages. The title of your paper must be included in your submission. The deadline for submissions is 13 February 2009. Late proposals will not be considered. The duration of each conference paper is 30 minutes inclusive of ten minutes of questions and answers. Please send your abstract (maximum 500 words) along with a brief CV mentioning at least one relevant publication and a cover sheet to the Executive Committee by email (tima(a)islamicmanuscript.org), by fax to +44 (0)1223 302218 or by post to the address below: The Islamic Manuscript Association 33 Trumpington Street Cambridge CB2 1QY, United Kingdom We look forward to welcoming you to Cambridge this coming summer. Yours sincerely, Davidson MacLaren Executive Director النشر والحقوق تقديم أوراق البحث زملائى الأعزاء: يُسعد هيئة المخطوطات الإسلامية أن تعلن عن مؤتمر المخطوطات الإسلامية الخامس والمزمع عقده فى معهد كرايست بجامعة كمبردج، المملكة المتحدة، وذلك فى الفترة بين 24 إلى 26 يوليو، تموز 2009. وسيستضيف المؤتمرَ جمعيةُ المكنز الإسلامى (ثيسورس إسلاميكوس) ومركز الدراسات الشرق أوسطية والإسلامية بجامعة كمبردج. وتدعو الهيئة إلى تقديم أوراق البحث التى تتعلق بمجال العناية بالمخطوطات الإسلامية وإدارة بياناتها ودراستها. وسيناقش المؤتمر هذا العام قضية نشر المخطوطات، حيث إن تطوير إمكانية الوصول للمخطوطات من خلال رقمنتها ونشرها للباحثين عن طريق توفير إمكانية طلبها إلكترونيا، والذى يضمن الحفاظ عليها لفترات طويلة الأجل؛ يعد أمرًا أساسيا لدراسة التراث الإسلامى فى المستقبل. وتوجد الآن تكنولوجيات تَعِدُ بتغيير طريقة دراسة المخطوطات، ولكن مازالت مسألة إتاحة المخطوطات للدارسين قد تُشكل بعض القلق لدى أصحاب المراكز و الهيئات المالكة لها من حيث الحقوق القانونية والمستقبل الاقتصادى. وستُناقَش هذه القضايا الحيوية فى المؤتمر الإسلامى الخامس من قبل المحاضرين المدعوين ومقدمى أوراق البحث. وكما تعهدنا فى الأعوام الماضية؛ فإن المؤتمر سوف يُنظَّم حول المجموعات الأربع المهتمة باالفهرسة، والحفظ، والرقمنة، والطبع والبحث. وسوف تُصنف أوراق البحث بناًء على الوظائف سالفة الذكر، كما نرجو منكم توضيح المجموعة التى تتعلق بها أوراق البحث لديكم. بالإضافة إلى أنه يمكن قبول أوراق البحث المتعلقة بموضوعات لا تنتمى مباشرة لمجالات المجموعات المطروحة سلفا. فقد تكون هذه الأوراق عن مشروعات تتعلق بمخطوطات بعينها أو مجموعات مكتبات أو أبحاث... إلخ. يرجى ملاحظة أن إجمالى الأوراق المقبولة لن يتجاوز 25 بحثا، وستعطى الأولوية إلى المحاضرين الذين لم تتح لهم الفرصة فى المؤتمرات السابقة. هذه الدعوة مفتوحة لأعضاء الهيئة وغير الأعضاء. وسيجرى المؤتمر باللغتين العربية والإنجليزية، وستُقبل أوراق البحث بأى من اللغتين، مع ضرورة التأكد من كتابة عنوان البحث قبل تقديم الأوراق. وقد تم تحديد 13 فبراير، شباط 2009 موعدًا نهائيًّا لقبول أوراق البحث، ولن تقبل أية أوراق بعد هذا الموعد. ومدة كل ورقة ثلاثون دقيقة متضمنة عشر دقائق للأسئلة والأجوبة. يرجى إرسال ملخص لبحثكم (على ألا يزيد على 500 كلمة) ومعه سيرة ذاتية مختصرة يُذكر بها مرجع منشور واحد على الأقل ذو صلة بموضوع البحث، بالإضافة إلى الخطاب التعريفى للباحث، إلى اللجنة التنفيذية عبر البريد الإلكترونى ( tima(a)islamicmanuscript.org) أو الفاكس رقم: (+44 (0) 1223 302218) أو بالبريد على العنوان الآتى: The Islamic Manuscript Association 33 Trumpington Street Cambridge CB2 1QY, United Kingdom نتطلع إلى الترحيب بكم فى كمبردج هذا الصيف. وتفضلوا بقبول فائق الاحترام ديفدسون ماكلارن المدير التنفيذى --------------------- Miss Jenny Wright Office Administrator The Islamic Manuscript Association A company limited by guarantee Incorporated in the Isle of Man c/o 33 Trumpington Street Cambridge CB2 1QY United Kingdom Telephone: 01223 303177 Mobile: 07826 355828 Fax: 01223 302218 Website: http://www.islamicmanuscript.org</exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://www.islamicmanuscript.org>
