Dear list members, I´m not sure if this is the right forum for such a query, but I´m sure you will know if anyone does! I´ve found lots of on-line resources with illutrations and descriptions of manuscripts. I´d like to find an example which I could use to illustrate, for the same text, 1) the manuscript itself 2) a diplomatic transcription 3) a normalized transcription and (if possible) 4) a translation. The point is to illustrate the various possibilities to students who may not have thought about manuscripts. It strikes me that this sort of information is more likely to be on a "teaching" website (in paleography, perhaps?) than anywhere else. Any suggestions where I should start looking would be greatly appreciated! Meg Cormack

XVIth International Conference of the Association for History and Computing Amsterdam, the Netherlands, 14-17th September 2005 http://www.ahc2005.org
AHC 2005 aims to bring together specialists from three broad streams:
- Professionals working in cultural heritage institutes (archives,
libraries, museums) who use ICT to preserve and give access to their collections
- Information and computing scientists working in the domain of cultural
heritage and the humanities
- Scholars using computers in historical and related studies (history of
art, archaeology, literary studies, etc.)
The subject matter of the conference is primarily oriented at methodological issues and not restricted to one particular domain within history and the humanities. Preferably, sessions will consist of a mix of these three interest groups and fields. There will be numerous cross links between the streams.
CALL FOR PAPERS Panel and paper proposals are now being invited for the XVIth international conference of the Association for History and Computing.
Deadlines: Extended deadline for submissions of title and abstract: 1st March 2005 (200-250 words) Deadline for submissions of full papers: 1st May 2005 (6-8 pages A4)
All accepted full papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will be available at the conference. A selection of the proceedings will be considered for publication in international journals after the conference.
Summary papers, PowerPoint demonstrations, etc. will only be available on the conference web site. There will be a number of poster sessions for demonstrations of software and other applications.
Proposals may be made for either complete sessions or for individual papers. Suggested topics are listed below.
Suggested formats for full panels include three 20-minute papers or a round table format. Other innovative format proposals will be considered. Proposals for complete panels should also include a chair. A panel may include a formal comment or question and response with the audience.
