Digitization Workshop at Kalamazoo: second announcement
by Dot Porter 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

Digitization of Primary Materials for Medievalists: A Workshop Sponsored by the Medieval Academy of America's Committee on Electronic Resources Hosted by the Western Michigan University Libraries' Digitization Center Friday, May 9, 1:30-5:00 The process of digitization project planning is essential for endeavors large and small. Every project to digitize medieval primary sources, whether undertaken by major libraries or by individual scholars, must take into account issues of legality (can I post these digital images on the web?), equipment (can I use a flatbed scanner, or should I use a camera?), specifications (300 or 600 dpi? And what's dpi??) and metadata standards (what's metadata?). Our seminar, "Elements of Digitization Project Planning" will describe why a Digitization Project Plan is essential for every project, and will go over what each element of a project plan entails. We will discuss the nine elements of successful project planning, and show resources and references for developing digitization project plans. Experienced professionals, including librarians and image experts, will share their expertise and provide examples of previous successful project plans. We will also cover other important aspects of digitization technology, including the methodology and technology of digital preservation. Registration is $50 for MAA members and $65 for non-members. To register, contact Dot Porter at dporter(a)uky.edu. Space is limited to 35. -- *************************************** Dot Porter, University of Kentucky ##### Program Coordinator Collaboratory for Research in Computing for Humanities http://www.rch.uky.edu Center for Visualization and Virtual Environments http://www.vis.uky.edu dporter(a)uky.edu 859-257-1257 x.82115 ***************************************

TEI Text and Graphics SIG: Announcement and Meeting
by Dot Porter 14 Apr '08

14 Apr '08

[excuse cross posting, and forward at will] The Text and Graphics special interest group of the Text Encoding Initiative will be convening during the TEI Member's Meeting in November. The TEI Guidelines are used to encode many diverse, graphically rich documents, including illuminated manuscripts, laboratory notebooks, art books, children's illustrated books, comics and graphic novels, and so on. These types of graphically rich documents present special concerns, considerations, and challenges, both conceptually at the encoding level and technically at the transformation, presentation, and publishing layers of digital document development. The purpose of this SIG will be to discuss, develop, and document various strategies and best practices for implementing the digital facsimile structures available in TEI P5, especially as relates tovgraphically rich texts, and for developing methods to extend the TEI when existing structures are not suitable. We are organizing a session of graphics-focused papers for the member's meeting as well. If you would like to participate, please contact Dot Porter <dporter(a)uky.edu> by April 25. Details about the member's meeting at http://www.cch.kcl.ac.uk/cocoon/tei2008/index.html. Discussions leading up to the meeting in November will be held on the SIG listserv. To join the listserv, visit http://listserv.brown.edu/?A0=TEI-GRAPHICS-SIG. The Text & Graphics SIG wiki page can be found at http://www.tei-c.org/wiki/index.php/SIG:Text%26Graphic.

Digital Medievalist article on Wikipedia
by James Cummings 06 Apr '08

06 Apr '08

Hi there, I have recreated a much fuller, and hopefully more neutral-toned Digital Medievalist article on wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Medievalist and would appreciate it if anyone reading this would go and improve it. (Specifically by providing more external references, correcting the style to be even more neutral-toned and wikipedia-like, etc.) Just thought I'd mention it in case you had a spare moment. Best, -James

Announcement: 'Sacred Voices'
by A.Laubinger 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Dear all, with the usual apologies for any cross-postings, may I bring to your attention the following workshop an Newcastle University, 9/10 April. As some of you will know, in Newcastle we are currently working on a digital edition of the extant manuscripts from the medieval library of the Cistercian nunnery of Medingen (near Hannover, Germany. For a first glance of the project see http://research.ncl.ac.uk/medingen/, though at the moment we can't make the material available online due to copyright issues). Andres. >Sacred Voices< A Workshop of German@Newcastle 'Sacred Voices' are to be understood as an expression of faith and devotion, ranging from God's voice to the response of the congregation and the discourse of individual worship. This workshop-style symposium aims to make audible those utterances of belief in two main areas in which the 'Sacred Voices' are featured in the medieval manuscripts: staged dialogues and musical notation. The workshop will encompass both close readings of individual texts and the presentation of leading approaches in recent research. Organized in cooperation with the Early Modern Studies @ Newcastle Group and other colleagues from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, this workshop is the launch event for the Newcastle 'Sacred Voices'-project, led by Elizabeth Andersen and Henrike Lähnemann.
