Dear Colleagues, [Apologies for Crossposting] I would like to invite you to register for participation in the following event: **New Approaches for Extracting Heterogeneous Reference Data** Hybrid Workshop, 15/16 May 2023 The programme is online, registration is open, and everyone is welcome to join online: https://mpilhlt.github.io/reference-extraction/workshop-2023/programme/ Rationale: Extracting heterogeneous references from texts, in particular from historical documents and humanities or legal scholarship is an unresolved problem. We want to gather scholars and practitioners from the social sciences, the humanities and the informational and computational disciplines to define the problem(s), establish the state of the art and share resources. The overarching aim of the event is to find ways for jointly developing new tools and workflows which are able to unlock previously untapped reference/citation data in the humanities, law and the social sciences. A particular focus lies on newly emerging technologies that are based on (pre-trained) language models. Registration is possible at https://plan.events.mpg.de/e/data Presentations will be recorded and will be made available after the event. (You are welcome to register just to be notified about it.) We hope to see many of you there, Best wishes, on behalf of the conference organisers, Andreas Wagner -- Dr. Andreas Wagner Digital Humanities Coordinator Max Planck Institute for Legal History and Legal Theory Frankfurt/Main, Germany

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. Hi everyone, I'm teaching two courses this summer, one in person in Philadelphia and another online only. If you're looking for summer workshop opportunities please take a look. The courses aren't the same although there is some overlap. 1. Digital Surrogates for DREAM Lab (in person, Philadelphia, June 5-8) Digital Surrogates asks participants to learn about the process of creating digital copies of physical objects with attention to issues of representation, engagement, and meaning. Beginning with the question “What does it mean to digitize an object?” participants will be asked to consider the responsibilities of a digitization project as it is related to paid and unpaid labor, the ethics of working with digital material, and how decisions about technical standards and platforms can facilitate or limit future use of digitized materials. Framed via critical readings, participants will be asked to consider their learning within their own individual and institutional values and support systems. Students in the course will participate through lectures, tours, readings, hands-on project development, and group discussion. Class events will include a tour of the University of Pennsylvania’s SCETI digitization lab, and discussions with experts from UPenn working on the digitization pipeline including photographers, cataloguers, infrastructure specialists, and front-end developers. Specific tools and approaches covered in the class in 2023 will include: * Minimal Computing: https://go-dh.github.io/mincomp/ * International Image Interoperability Framework (IIIF): https://iiif.io/ * Digital Mappa (DM): https://www.digitalmappa.org/ Tuition: Before May 19, non student: $500 USD. Before May 19, student: $400 USD For more information and to register: https://web.sas.upenn.edu/dream-lab/ 2. Using Digitized Manuscripts (online, July 24-28) Over the past 20 years, the number of medieval and renaissance manuscripts that have been digitized has expanded dramatically. What opportunities does this widespread digitization make possible? In this class, students will learn about the process of digitization, focusing on photography and touching on other methods for making manuscripts available through digitization. We will learn and experiment with various tools for working with digitized manuscripts. Finally, we will discuss both the promise and the limitations of digitization. Over the course of the week, students will have the opportunity to apply new knowledge to a digitized manuscript of their choice and share their progress and results with the class. The course will combine lectures, tours, readings, hands-on project development, and group discussion. Students should come to class with a digitized manuscript they wish to work with and should have access to images and a description of the manuscript. Applicants’ personal statements should include a description of the manuscript and a discussion of what kind of project they are interested in undertaking with the manuscript. Tuition: $1000 USD For more information and to register: https://rarebookschool.org/ Please email me with any questions! Thank you, Dot -- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Dot Porter (MA, MSLS) Digital Medievalist, Digital Librarian Email: dot.porter(a)gmail.com<mailto:dot.porter@gmail.com> Penn Manuscripts on Tumblr: http://upennmanuscripts.tumblr.com/ MESA: http://mesa-medieval.org *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

27 Apr '23

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 DM-List members, The Digital Medievalist Postgraduate Committee are delighted to announce that we have three new members! Ségolène Gence is a doctoral researcher funded by CHASE AHRC at the University of Kent’s Centre for Medieval and Early Modern Studies. Her research interests reside at the intersections of material contexts of pre-modern religious literature, textual networks, early print culture, manuscript studies, comparative literature, and digital humanities. Ségolène’s current research focuses on English devotional literature from the fourteenth and fifteenth century, textual transmission, and manuscript studies using social network analysis, looking at the dynamic relationships between author, text, and audience. Estelle Guéville is a French curator and researcher currently pursuing her PhD in Medieval Studies at Yale. She holds B.A.s in History and Art History and M.A.s in History and the Management of Cultural Heritage from Université Paris 1 Panthéon Sorbonne. Before joining Yale, she worked for several cultural institutions in France and the Gulf, including the Louvre Abu Dhabi, the Bibliothèque nationale de France and the Musée national du Moyen Age – Thermes de Cluny in Paris. Her research interests include the qualitative and quantitative study of manuscripts, as well as questions of authorship, attribution and copy. She is the co-creator of the Paris Bible Project, a digital humanities initiative studying abbreviations and special letter forms as markers of scribal practices. Catrin Haberfield is a PhD student in English at Stanford University. They hold a BA in English Language and Literature from the University of Oxford and an MA in Medieval and Early Modern Studies from the University of Manchester. Catrin now specialises in early medieval material and textual culture across the Insular world – in particular, using UX theory to identify the user journeys of textual objects and re-examine approaches to digitisation. You can read more about all the members of the DM postgrad committee on the DM Website<https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/about/postgraduate-subcommittee/>. We are still looking for new members! Are you a Graduate Student or recent Postdoc in (Digital) Medieval Studies? Do you want to get actively involved in the Digital Medievalist community? Join the Digital Medievalist Postgraduate Committee of Coding Codices fame! The Postgraduate Committee was created in 2019 to coordinate the organization of joint panels, production of podcasts, general social media presence, and promote peer-to-peer exchange. The goal is to increase the visibility of these infrastructures while initiating conversations on interdisciplinary work, necessary skills, and acknowledging the need to reform university curricula in the medieval context and thus contribute to an overarching perspective towards current debates on the profiling of disciplines in the humanities between traditional and innovative/alternative requirements. More info about the committee and our organisation can be found here<https://digitalmedievalist.wordpress.com/bylaws-of-the-postgrad-committee/>. Are you interested? Or do you know someone who could be a good fit for our group? Great! Get (them) in touch with one of our members or write to us directly at dmpostgrads(a)gmail.com<mailto:dmpostgrads@gmail.com>. We look forward to hearing from you! The Digital Medievalist Postgraduate Committee (Hannah Busch, Seb Dows-Miller, Ségolène Gence, Tessa Gengnagel, Estelle Guéville, and Catrin Haberfield)

by Tina-Marie Ranalli 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

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. Hello, I am writing to invite you to participate in a study we are conducting on understanding the use of digital technologies by scholars of medieval studies. Principal Investigator: Krishna Venkatasubramanian, PhD Research purpose: The aim of this study is to understand the use of digital technologies by scholars of medieval studies and to see how well these tools work for them, when they fail, and what can be done to improve them. We also plan to see how disability and chronic conditions affect these trends. Protocol: We will be conducting online interviews via videoconference for this study. This study entails a set of interviews, approximately 45-60 minutes long, with individual staff members. They will be conducted remotely via videoconference, e.g., Zoom. Video recordings will be made during all sessions of the study. The recordings will then be transcribed, and the original recording will be deleted once the transcription is verified to be accurate. Benefits: There are no anticipated benefits to the participants other than the study affording ideas for better designs of digital tools and technologies for scholars of medieval studies. Eligibility: Participants for this study should be adults who are active research scholars in one of the various sub-disciplines of medieval studies. In addition, they must: use digital technologies for their research in medieval studies; be willing to use Zoom to participate in the interview, which will be recorded for transcription purposes; and be currently located in the US or Canada (due to restrictions on compensating participants). Researchers with a chronic health condition and/or disability are particularly welcome. Time commitment: 45-60 minutes Mode of interview: All interviews will be conducted remotely via Zoom or other teleconferencing system conducive to the participants. Compensation: You will be compensated $50 in the form of gift card for your participation. This research has been approved by The University of Rhode Island Institutional Review Board. Please let us know if you are interested in participating. Thanks very much, Krishna Venkatasubramanian, PhD Tina-Marie Ranalli, PhD ASSET Lab University of Rhode Island (US) https://kven.me/asset https://ranalli.weebly.com
