CFP Schoenberg Symposium: Video Lightning Talks on digital manuscript projects
by Dot Porter 28 Sep '21

28 Sep '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Call for proposals for Video Lightning Talks to be posted to the SIMS YouTube Channel as part of the 14th Annual (Virtual) Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age, November 17-19, 2021 Engaging with pre-modern books and manuscripts necessarily involves reckoning with the paradox of loss. While a historical document from the distant past is the material survivor of a singular attempt to hedge against the disappearance of an idea, image, or text, the extant specimen always has to be considered alongside missing exemplars, damage and erasure, lost comparanda, and the vanished life-worlds that produced the object in the first place. This symposium will interrogate the notions of loss, survival, and recuperation in manuscript studies, so often in the background but rarely acknowledged as defining features of the field. For our 2021 Lightning Talk videos, we are particularly interested in talks that focus on digital aspects of loss in manuscript studies. The videos will be posted to the SIMS YouTube channel. You can see the 2020 Lightning Talks here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8e3GREu0zuD1mR_tXBvn4ovYib9E3qwq Videos must be five minutes long or shorter, and may present any project relating to manuscript studies in the digital age. Submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/6zJqNUgFgwbCxsyq5 Deadline for submitting applications is October 26 Applicants will be notified by November 2 Lightning Talk videos must be five minutes or shorter. Videos must be submitted to SIMS by November 9 The symposium is Free and is open to the public!

14th Annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (Online)
by Ransom, Lynn 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. The Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (SIMS<http://schoenberginstitute.org/>) at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries is pleased to announce the 14th Annual Lawrence J. Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age: 14th Annual Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age (Online) Loss November 17-19, 2021 Engaging with pre-modern books and manuscripts necessarily involves reckoning with the paradox of loss. While a historical document from the distant past is the material survivor of a singular attempt to hedge against the disappearance of an idea, image, or text, the extant specimen always has to be considered alongside missing exemplars, damage and erasure, lost comparanda, and the vanished life-worlds that produced the object in the first place. This symposium will interrogate the notions of loss, survival, and recuperation in manuscript studies, so often in the background but rarely acknowledged as defining features of the field. Bringing together scholars, librarians, curators, and conservators, we will investigate losses unknowable and quantifiable, ancient and recent, large and small, physical and digital. How have chance survivals shaped literary and linguistic canons? How might the topography of the field appear differently had certain prized unica not survived? What are the ways in which authors, compilers, scribes, and scholars have dealt with lacunary exemplaria? How do longstanding and emergent methodologies and disciplines-analysis of catalogs of dispersed libraries, reverse engineering of ur-texts and lost prototypes, digital reconstructions of codices dispersi, digital humanities. and cultural heritage preservation, and trauma studies to name a few,-serve to reveal the extent of disappearance? How can ideologically-driven biblioclasm or the destruction wrought by armed conflicts -- sometimes occurring within living memory -- be assessed objectively yet serve as the basis for protection of cultural heritage in the present? In all cases, losses are not solely material: they can be psychological, social, digital, linguistic, spiritual, professional. Is mournful resignation the only response to these gaps, or can such sentiments be harnessed to further knowledge, understanding, and preservation moving forward? The online program will take place in morning and afternoon sessions (EST) from Wednesday, November 17, to Friday, November 19. The symposium will end with a keynote address by Professor Elaine Treharne, Stanford University..

Linked Pasts Symposium (CFP)
by Gabriel Bodard 20 Sep '21

20 Sep '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, I would like to call your attention to two calls: (1) for activities; (2) for posters, for the Linked Pasts Symposium, hosted by Ghent University and CLARIAH Flanders from Dec 13-17 (online) and Dec 20-21 (in person). We are interested in discussions, hackathons, new project planning, and other practical activities, in the area of Linked Open Data and the historical world. (1) Call for Activities: There will be space for suggestion and selection of activities at the conference, but we also welcome proposals for research activities, which may include (but are not restricted to): development of standards, ontologies and research applications; discovery and integration of datasets; enrichment and annotation of textual collections; collaboration, pedagogy and community expansion; other relevant undertakings with a focus on Linked Open Data and the historical world. To propose a stream or working group for the conference programme, please fill in the form at <https://forms.gle/Z3aj3UfixTNENyaB8> with a max. 200-word abstract outlining your suggestion, type of activity and the medium in which it will be run, and some indication of the likely participants (e.g. names, community or expected stakeholders) by the end of Monday October 18, 2021. (2) Call for posters: In the absence of individual presentations and lectures, posters are a great way to share a project, dataset, method or activity related to the LOD and historical or heritage research, and discuss your work in a less formal setting with other interested attendees. We will hold an online digital poster session available throughout the symposium. To propose a poster, please send an abstract of 100–150 words to gabriel.bodard(a)sas.ac.uk by the end of Monday October 18, 2021.

Call for participants: Immersive Global Middle Ages NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities
by Roger L Martinez 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. [IGMA-Cover-1024x370.png] Dear Dm-L Colleagues: My colleague, Dr. Lynn Ramey (Vanderbilt)<https://my.vanderbilt.edu/lynnramey/> and I<https://history.uccs.edu/roger-martinez>, are announcing a call for participants for our Immersive Global Middle Ages NEH Institute for Advanced Topics in the Digital Humanities. Virtual reality, augmented reality, and 3D digital environments are witnessing explosive growth in research and teaching, but faculty and staff who could benefit from these techniques do not have equal access to the tools they need. Hardware and software used in the creation of 3D environments is expensive; institutional policies and commitment are highly variable; and some who would benefit lack confidence with the technology. The Immersive Global Middle Ages Institute provides a diverse cohort of medievalists with both theoretical and practical training in the creation and implementation of 3D objects and environments for research and teaching. The Institute will meet online three times each semester and will have two in-person four-day summer workshops over a two-year period (January 2022-November 2023). By the end of the Institute, participants will have considered the research around using 3D environments, developed 3D object assets and worlds, and authored teaching resources to pass on their new skills to students and colleagues. Given that many participants will lack the necessary robust computing hardware and software needed to participate in the workshops, the Institute will award technology stipends to participants for the purchase of an Alienware computer customized for immersive technology, monitor, keyboard/mouse, and a 3-year onsite support/warranty; an Oculus Rift headset; and a two-year license for Trimble SketchUp Pro modeling software. Initial details about the Institute can be found here: https://grants.uccs.edu/igma/ All are welcome to apply. Recognizing the need to address digital divides in higher education, this Institute will prioritize the professional development of participants who are members of underrepresented ethnic, cultural, and religious communities; women; diverse gender identities; and those who work at institutions serving those communities. Expenses to attend the in-person workshops are also covered by the institute. We will begin accepting formal applications for the institute in late September 2021. To receive updates on the application process, please send your name, position, institution, and email address to: igma(a)uccs.edu<mailto:igma@ucca.edu>.

Help with our high-quality historical OCR app
by Nick White 17 Sep '21

17 Sep '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, We are a small 2-person not-for-profit company called Rescribe working on OCR for historical printed works, such as you would find on Internet Archive and Google Books. So far we have primarily worked with academic research projects and libraries to provide transcriptions of collections of interest to them, but have always been invested in broadening our work to help individuals get high quality OCR results, too. In recent months we have devoted more time to community-oriented open source software, developing a free desktop tool to perform high-quality OCR on modern and historic printed text. At the moment, this tool can only be run from the command line, but we’ve been encouraged by anecdotal feedback and a very positive independent review of our tool <https://classicalstudies.org/scs-blog/hmcelroy/blog-review-latinocr-and-res…> to make this tool more accessible. We would like to achieve this by creating a simple Graphic User Interface (GUI) for Windows, Mac and Linux, potentially with additional functionality built in. As the focus of this work is on providing useful tools to individuals, rather than catering to a large project, we are interested in trying a crowdfunding campaign in order to finance the development of this GUI and get interested parties directly involved in the actual development process. Before starting the crowdfunding campaign itself, however, we would like to take a chance and gauge interest from potential participants. We’ve composed a 30-second, 3-question survey where potential participants can register interest and have their say on future features of the tool, see here: https://forms.gle/AZcKpsbzQQajSE4j6 Please fill it out if you have a moment, and forward it on to anyone you think might be interested. In the meantime, any questions, comments and suggestions are all very welcome, either as a reply here, or to info(a)rescribe.xyz! All the very best, Nick + Antonia from Rescribe https://rescribe.xyz

Canterbury Tales Project. MA and PhD funding opportunity
by Bordalejo, Barbara 06 Sep '21

06 Sep '21

Caution: This email was sent from someone outside of the University of Lethbridge. Do not click on links or open attachments unless you know they are safe. Suspicious emails should be forwarded to phishing(a)uleth.ca. Dear all, Please distribute widely among your students. Best, BB The Canterbury Tales Project (https://www.canterburytalesproject.org/) is seeking curious and enthusiastic graduate students for funded research positions at the MA and Ph.D. levels. If you are interested in Chaucer, Middle English literature, manuscript culture, early print, textual scholarship, Humanities Data or the Digital Humanities, we are interested in hearing from you. We can also consider other proposals related to our work. The Canterbury Tales Project is a long-standing digital editorial project with almost 30 years of history leading in the development of editions and innovative methods for research and delivery. In February 2020, the project published the CantApp: General Prologue, which has been downloaded more than 70.000 times since its release. The CTP also defines the cutting edge of textual research: we use an integrated digital editing platform (Textual Communities) and bioinformatics software to study and analyze the textual tradition of the Tales. Although the project’s main aim is to reach a better understanding of the textual tradition of the Canterbury Tales, we also seek to discover and implement better ways of delivering complex information. The project was recently awarded a five-year $330,000 Insight Grant by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and is associate with several other recently funded projects in Digital Humanities at the University of Lethbridge, the University of Calgary and the University of Saskatchewan. This allows us to offer funding for Ph.D. and MA candidates to work with us at the University of Lethbridge and the possibility of co-supervision arrangements through the University of Calgary and/or the University of Saskatchewan). What we want: We seek students interested in researching combined aspects of the Canterbury Tales, manuscript studies, digital research methods, digital humanities and Open Science. You are a curious and enthusiastic research student who will take an active role in the project while carrying out your individual line of research. You want to work as part of a team and contribute to the lab’s research environment. You believe in open science and open data published under FAIR principles. Your interests might be: Chaucer Middle English Literature Manuscript Culture Early Printed Books Textual Scholarship Open Data Digital Humanities… ...but we are open to considering other proposals. We will be particularly interested in discussing ideas beyond traditional textual criticism and attuned to areas of research expanding the canon and conventional views of the text of Chaucer. If you have an innovative critical approach, we want to hear from you. What we offer: We are offering funding for a Ph.D. or M.A. within a lively and diverse working environment. You will learn from peers and project leaders in the framework of our lab, where you can learn about all aspects of the project and its management while sharing in the lab’s collaborative and interdisciplinary research environment. Our project works closely with several other well-funded Digital Humanities and Open Science projects at the University including work on Indigenous languages, Scholarly Communication, and Open Data. The University has a number of innovative cross-disciplinary programmes, including Cultural, Social, and Political Thought (which takes an interdisciplinary approach to problems in the Humanities and Social Sciences) and a new Data Sciences programme, which is developing an approach that will span the Sciences, Social Sciences, and Humanities.
