Digital Classicist London Seminar
Friday November 12, 2021, 17:00 (UK time/UTC)
Mariarosaria Zinzi (Università degli Studi di Firenze)
Languages and Cultures of Ancient Italy.
Join us live at: <https://youtu.be/g9qCK6ntNPY>
The languages of ancient Italy are fragmentarily attested and documented almost exclusively in epigraphic texts. Recent advancements in information technologies would make it possible to make their data available both within and beyond the limits of epigraphy, philology, and historical linguistics. The project Languages and Cultures of Ancient Italy. Historical Linguistics and Digital Models is a multidisciplinary research initiative which involves a consortium established by the University Ca’ Foscari of Venice, the University of Florence, and the Institute for Computational Linguistics of the Italian National Research Council.
The main objective of the project is to investigate chosen cultures of ancient Italy, namely Venetic, Oscan, Faliscan, and Celtic, on the basis of the relevant linguistic documentation, in order to show the forms of linguistic variability in Italy before romanisation. It will combine the traditional methods of epigraphy and historical linguistics with digital tools adapted to the highly fragmentary nature of the epigraphic documentation of such languages.
The expected results of the project are:
– producing a searchable digital corpus of the inscriptions containing all the relevant contextual information together with their formal representation leveraging the TEI/EpiDoc encoding schema (may be necessary to create an ad-hoc schema for the peculiarities of such languages). This will ensure the interoperability with other digital corpora and, thus, their availability for the whole research community and the general public;
– creating a computational lexicon, linked with the corpus and based on a computational lexical model specifically dedicated to languages of fragmentary attestation;
– experimenting a semantic codification by means of CRMtex, the extension of CIDOC CRM, the de facto standard ontology in the DH, for the representation of the texts.
The corpus will include for each inscription an edition of the text, contextual information, a commentary, a translation, searchable bibliographical references, and possibly photographs and drawings.

Dear colleagues,
As with every year, it is time to submit potential internships for the students of the Digital Technologies Applied to History (TNAH) master’s degree at the École nationale des chartes. We apologize in advance for any cross-posting.
The TNAH master's degree aims to train engineers for heritage institutions, research laboratories and private companies with a foothold in the field of data and data engineering. Our students then become engineers, project managers or digital mission managers and often act as intermediaries between the various bodies of expertise. Our students are trained in Python, Javascript, data processing and visualization, XML-TEI, XSLT, SQL, xQuery, EAD, SEDA and various archival standards, project management, OCR and HTR, etc. More details on the curriculum can be found at http://www.chartes.psl.eu/fr/cursus/master-technologies-numeriques-applique… (“Scolarité” tab) and the M2 syllabus at http://www.chartes.psl.eu/docs/2021-2022.html (links in French). The final projects of the 2019 Python course are demoed at this address: http://tnah.chartes.psl.eu/2019/ Internship proposals can be sent until the 31st of January, students start to apply to proposals in December.
In order to complete their degree, students must complete an internship during the second semester of their final year. The internships must allow them to apply the technical skills they have acquired during their studies, which can take the following forms, among others:
* Analysis and assistance in the expression of needs for a digital project
* Prototype of an application, digital edition, or data processing pipeline
* Production of a specification before implementing a digital project
The work carried out during the internship feeds into a master’s thesis which is defended between mid-September and mid-October. Remote presence is a possibility for our colleagues abroad. Due to administrative rules, the thesis and defence must be in French.
Starting at the beginning of April, the internship lasts between 3 and 5 months, with a clear preference for a 4-month internship. It may include data entry (transcription, cataloguing, etc.) but only for a maximum of 20% of working time and if it helps them to better understand the issues at stake in the project. The student is accompanied during the internship by a tutor from the Ecole des chartes and a technical and scientific manager in your team. A computer must be provided to the student. We do not expect any particular type of host organization: private companies, archive services, libraries, media libraries, research laboratories, etc. are all institutions that can host our students. Students choose their internship before the end of January and from the end of November. A standard application form is available at the following address: http://www.chartes.psl.eu/sites/default/files/atoms/files/appel_a_stages_du… .
Here are some examples of internships that took place in 2020-2021 (in brackets, the type of host institution):
* Processing chain for geohistorical data matching (University Laboratory)
* Named Entity Recognition for HTR (Handwriting Recognition by Machine) texts (Research Laboratory)
* Production of TEI documents from HTR models (Research lab)
* Analysis of best practices and recommendations for the use of the ARK standard in archives (Heritage institution)
* Reflections on the digital archiving of e-mails (Public institution)
* Digital edition of a corpus of 19th century manuscripts: from transcription to visualization (Research institution)
* From clusters to catalogue: reflections on the patrimonialization of research data in heritage sciences (Heritage institution)
The complete list of last year's courses is available at http://www.chartes.psl.eu/fr/actualite/soutenances-2021-du-master-technolog…
Feel free to reach me if you have any questions,
Thanking you for our students,
Thank you very much,
Thibault Clérice

The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies is pleased to announce the next SIMS Online Lecture:
* The Rescue of Armenian Historiography and the Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa
Tara L. Andrews, University of Vienna
Friday, December 17, 2021, 12:00 -1:30pm EST (via Zoom)
Of the thirty-five manuscripts that remain of the 12th-century Chronicle of Matthew of Edessa, not a single one dates from before 1590, but over half of them were produced by 1700. This pattern of survival reflects a wider reality for Armenian literature, where the ravages of war and persecution, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries, gave way to a period of relative peace in the 17th century that provided an opportunity for a conscious "rescue" of the Armenian literary heritage, especially (but not exclusively) centered around the Amrdolu monastery of Bitlis, near Lake Van. In this talk I will present some of the features and puzzles of the manuscript tradition of the Chronicle that speak to this restoration, and at the same time give us glimpses into the history of the developing Armenian diaspora.

Who has Access to Digital Humanities? Diversity and Inclusivity in Digital Humanities in Ireland and the UK
22 October 2021, 09:30-15:30
Please register for a place at the virtual event:
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/who-has-access-to-digital-humanities-tickets…
The convenors of an Arts and Humanities Research Council/Irish Research Council funded project to undertake research and consultation towards the implementation of a permanent Digital Humanities association for the UK and Ireland (see list of team members at https://dhnetwork.org/) invite submissions from individuals to co-create an event relating to DH and inclusion.
One of the dreams of information and communication technologies is that of equitable and open access to information, to services, and to opportunities. We know, of course, that this is only true on the surface, and that technological systems tend to recreate the inequities of the cultures and societies that build them. As such, the dream of the digital humanities as a ‘big tent’ (that is, capacious, broad and inclusive) is also one that we need to constantly query and challenge if the field is to have a claim to being inclusive and diverse.
This is a particularly pressing issue as we explore the potential for a regional DH network to support the use and promotion of DH methods in the UK and Ireland.
