I am very pleased to report that my analysis of the structure, contents, and liturgy of the partially-reconstructed Beauvais Missal has just been published in *Florilegium *(https://www.utpjournals.press/toc/flor/current). If you cannot access the journal through an institutional subscription, you can find the article on my Academia.edu page:

I am very grateful to all of the curators, scholars, dealers, and collectors who have generously shared images and data about Beauvais Missal leaves with me over the years. Although I have recorded more than 110 leaves so far, the project is for from complete; there are nearly 200 leaves still to be found. For the latest list of identified leaves, see: http://brokenbooks2.omeka.net.

*Global Digital Humanities Symposium*
March 26-27, 2020
Michigan State University
msuglobaldh.org
*Call for Proposals*
Deadline: November 1
Proposal form <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>
Digital Humanities at Michigan State University is proud to extend its
symposium series on Global DH into its fifth year, on March 26-27, 2020.
Digital humanities scholarship continues to be driven by work at the
intersections of a range of distinct disciplines and an ethical commitment
to preserve and broaden access to cultural materials. In celebration of the
10th anniversary of MSU's Cultural Heritage Informatics Program
<http://chi.anthropology.msu.edu/>, we particularly encourage proposals
along that theme, but as always we strive to showcase DH work in all its
forms.
Alongside the expansion of digital humanities in under-resourced and
underrepresented areas, a number of complex issues surface, including,
among others, questions of ownership, cultural theft, virtual exploitation,
digital rights, endangered data, and the digital divide. DH communities
have raised and responded to these issues, pushing the field forward. This
symposium is an opportunity to broaden the conversation about these issues.
Scholarship that works across borders with foci on transnational
partnerships and globally accessible data is especially welcome.
Additionally, we define the term “humanities” rather broadly to incorporate
the discussion of issues that encourage interdisciplinary understanding of
the humanities.
Focused on these issues of social justice, we invite work at the
intersections of critical DH; race and ethnicity; feminism,
intersectionality, and gender; and anti-colonial and postcolonial
frameworks to participate.
This symposium, which will include a mixture of presentation types,
welcomes 300-word proposals related to any of these issues, and
particularly on the following themes and topics by *Friday, November 1,
midnight in your timezone*:
- Critical cultural studies and analytics
- Cultural heritage in a range of contexts, particularly non-Western
- DH as socially engaged humanities and/or as a social movement
- Open data, open access, and data preservation as resistance,
especially in a postcolonial context
- How identity categories, and their intersections, shape digital
humanities work
- Global research dialogues and collaborations within the digital
humanities community
- Indigeneity – anywhere in the world – and the digital
- Digital humanities, postcolonialism, and neocolonialism
- Global digital pedagogies
- Borders, migration, and/or diaspora and their connection to the digital
- Digital and global languages and literatures
- Digital humanities, the environment, and climate change
- Innovative and emergent technologies across institutions, languages,
and economies
- Scholarly communication and knowledge production in a global context
- Surveillance and/or data privacy issues in a global context
- Productive failure
*Presentation Formats*:
- 5-minute lightning talk
- 15-minute presentation
- 90-minute workshop
- 90-minute panel
- Poster presentation
- There will be a limited number of slots available for 15-minute
virtual presentations
Please note that we conduct a double-blind review process, so please
refrain from identifying your institution or identity in your proposal.
*Submit a proposal here* <http://www.msuglobaldh.org/submit-a-proposal/>
*Notifications of acceptance will be given by December 9, 2019*

Dear Digital Medievalists,
Digital methods are by definition at the border of Medieval Studies. This bold statement is primarily justified by the observation that the application of digital methods is triggered by a research community outside Medieval Studies, i.e. Computer Science and New Media Studies. Therefore, in its interdisciplinary nature digital medieval studies is a border-crossing discipline and breaks up traditionally developed scholarly silos and institutional borders. The experimentation with and application of new methods and technologies challenges traditional perceptions and research approaches. Another kind of digital boarders are "metadata borders". For example, digital cataloging standards create unintended, and sometimes intended borders and boundaries, that prevent data-sharing and linking.
In the light of this proposition the Digital Medievalist will take the opportunity of next years' general IMC theme ("Borders") to discuss cutting edge and "border-crossing" digital methods and technologies and/or borders and boundaries caused by digital methods. Topics may include current research in machine learning, computer vision, 3D modeling, IIIF, multispectral imaging, Handwritten Text Recognition, Linked Data and distant reading, etc. Machine learning, for instance, poses specific problems for Medieval Studies, as its success depends on the availability, findability, reusability, and accessibility of large amounts of data. Similar issues exist with the application of other digital methods to medieval material and the session(s) "Digital Borders of Medieval Studies" will be the place to present and discuss them.
The Digital Medievalist community invites the submission of proposals for 20-minutes papers covering a topic relating to the session title and focusing on the application of digital methods and technologies for current and future research in the field of Medieval Studies.
Please send your proposal (300 Words incl. a short CV) to dm.imc2020(a)gmail.com by Sept. 15th.

Betreff: H-Digital-History: CFP The Digital Middle Ages in Ireland and
Beyond (A Roundtable), ICMS Kalamazoo 2020

Greetings Georg Vogeler,
A new item has been posted in H-Digital-History. CFP The Digital Middle
Ages in Ireland and Beyond (A Roundtable), ICMS Kalamazoo 2020 by Vicky
McAlister CFP The Digital Middle Ages in Ireland and Beyond (A
Roundtable), ICMS Kalamazoo 2020, May 2020, Western Michigan University
Sponsored by the American Society for Irish Medieval Studies (ASIMS)
This session will discuss how scholars and students can use digital
technologies to achieve a more nuanced understanding of medieval
culture. At ICMS “Kalamazoo” in 2019 ASIMS sponsored the very successful
Digital Castles roundtable. Particularly enlightening discussion during
this session centered on the ways we can use the digital humanities to
engage students in our work as scholars. Consequently, we would like to
broaden the scope and appeal of a digital humanities session proposed
for Kalamazoo 2020. While the geographic focus is on Ireland, we
particularly welcome proposals that discuss medieval Ireland’s
connections with the wider world. This panel considers innovative
approaches towards better understanding, through digital means, the
material culture of medieval Ireland. As so many of 2019’s attendees (as
well as the majority of ASIMS members) are based at teaching focused
institutions, we plan to particularly emphasize how digital projects can
be accomplished on a budget and at a distance from the geographic area
of study. Presentations will be of less than ten minutes’ duration, with
ample time for audience participation and discussion. Another benefit of
the session’s approach is its multidisciplinarity, reflecting approaches
from history, manuscript studies, archaeology, art history and
literature. This session will therefore provide a venue for an exciting
interdisciplinary dialogue, framed within the digital humanities.
Please send your abstract to Vicky McAlister, Southeast Missouri State
University, vmcalister(a)semo.edu [1], by *Friday, September 6th, 2019.*

Betreff: Roundtable "Digital Tools for Historical Research" at IMC in
Leeds, 6-9 July 2020
Datum: Sat, 17 Aug 2019 22:54:24 +0200
Von: David Zbíral <david.zbiral(a)mail.muni.cz>
An: Digital Medievalist <DMedievalist(a)googlegroups.com>
Dear colleagues and friends,
The Centre for the Digital Research of Religion at Masaryk University and
the “Dissident Networks Project” (DISSINET, https://dissinet.cz/) hosted at
this research centre are pleased to invite proposals for short presentations
(5 min.) of various digital tools for historical research (e.g.: software,
environments for the annotation of texts and digitized manuscripts, the
adaptation of general-purpose digital tools to historical research, etc.)
to be presented at a roundtable session on "Digital Tools for Historical
Research" at the International Medieval Congress 2020 in Leeds, UK (6-9
July 2020).
Each speaker should briefly present a tool and be prepared to answer
questions from the audience on its use and application. The speakers may be
connected with the developers of the tool, but this is in no way a
requirement. They need only know it well enough to be able to present it to
the audience and answer questions. Overall, the roundtable and subsequent
discussions are intended to create a space for networking between users and
potential users of such tools (and in some cases their developers).
The participants in any session of the congress, including this roundtable,
are expected to register for the congress and pay the registration fee and
their travel costs.
Please send brief informal proposals to David Zbíral at
david.zbiral(a)mail.muni.cz by September 15th at the latest. Any proposal
should contain the name of the tool or environment to be discussed, a short
description of the tool, information about its availability (licence), and
the address of a website where more information about the tool is available
(if applicable). A formal abstract is not required.
We look forward to your proposals!
All the best,
David.

The EADH Executive Committee has extended the deadline to send proposals to
host the 2020 EADH Conference: the new deadline is 20th September 2019.
As with the first EADH conference held in 2018, the second conference will
strengthen the scientific, institutional and cultural relations between the
members of the DH communities in Europe and in the Mediterranean area. The
EADH Conference is organised in each year that the annual ADHO Digital
Humanities conference takes place outside of Europe. We are particularly
interested in proposals from institutions and regions that:
• have recently developed or are developing digital humanities
communities and organizations;
• have not previously hosted an ADHO or the EADH Digital Humanities
conference.
Please note that the lead applicant must be a direct member of the EADH or
of one of its Associate Organisations (currently AIUCD, DHD, DHN, CzADH and
DH Russia).
Organisation
EADH Conferences are co-organised by two committees:
The scientific organisation is conducted by a Programme Committee (PC) with
10 members and one Chair, appointed by the EADH Executive Committee. The
local organiser may appoint up to two members of the PC. The PC decides the
main theme of the conference, identifies and invites keynote speakers,
produces and issues the Call for Papers, manages the review process, and
decides the academic conference programme.
Logistical organization will be the responsibility of a Local Organisation
Committee, whose members and chair are appointed by the Local Organisers.
The EADH recommends the adoption of the conference management system
ConfTool for registering participants and including them in special events
such as the banquet, but payments may be processed outside ConfTool by the
local organiser if desired.
Time Period and Venue
Conference dates are decided by the Local Organiser, in consultation with
EADH. It is recommended that the conference takes place in the autumn of
2020. Other large DH-related conferences in Europe should be taken into
account when fixing the precise dates.
The venue must be an academic or cultural institution in the European area
in its broadest sense (including Russia and countries bordering the
Mediterranean). The hosting institution should be able to accommodate a
minimum of 300 delegates (including plenaries), at least three parallel
sessions, and a communicative poster session.
Bids
Bids should contain a preliminary budget and up to two pages describing the
motivations and logistical opportunities offered by the proposed venue.
Bidders must take into account the EADH diversity and inclusivity statement.
The venue for the 2020 conference will be decided by the EADH Executive
Committee on the basis of:
• academic and social impact of the conference for the LO;
• logistical adequacy of the venue;
• overall quality of the proposal.
Bids should be submitted to secretary(a)eadh.org no later than July, 1, 2019.
Structure of the Conference
The Conference should be a 2/3-day event, avoiding weekends. Workshops and
training events can precede the official conference days, depending on the
availability of the LO. Presentations will be organized in 90-minute slots.
The conference should have two keynote plenary talks.
Typical presentations are:
• full papers for theoretical or highly relevant methodological or
technical issues;
• short papers to present research ideas, approaches and projects;
• panel or roundtable for one relevant topic discussed under different
perspectives by 5/6 presenters;
• posters. One session of the conference is reserved for short poster
presentations.
Bidders in coordination with the Programme Committee are encouraged to
propose alternative formats and innovative organization of the conference
in addition to this general framework.
Budget
The conference must be financially self-sustaining, but a backstop funding
from the EADH of up to €5,000 can be discussed. The EADH will also provide
bursaries for young scholars. The local organizers are expected to set six
levels of registration fees:
• faculty and staff with permanent contract, members of the EADH,
associate organizations, and other constituent organizations of ADHO;
• faculty and staff with permanent contract, non-members;
• faculty and staff with fixed-term contract, members of the EADH,
associate organizations, and other constituent organizations of ADHO;
• faculty and staff with fixed-term contract, non-members;
• students, members of the EADH, associate organizations, and other
constituent organizations of ADHO;
• students, non-members.
Local Organisers are expected to set member/non-member rates so that the
difference between member/non-member rates are higher than the EADH membership
costs. Registration fees are recommended not to exceed €300 for the highest
level of non-member fees to make the conference more accessible to the
community.
Social Programme
Local Organisers are expected to arrange a diverse social programme,
including a social dinner, that can contribute to the EADH community
building.
Synergies and Possible Sponsorship
Suggested collaborative activities range from hosting of workshops and
tutorials to co-organisation of the conference or financial support.
Private in-kind and financial sponsorship is welcome, provided that any
activity from sponsoring organizations is clearly distinct from, and does
not influence, the academic program.
