Dear all,
This summer, we are leading a digital humanities summer institute in Vercelli, Italy. This program is aimed to teach multispectral imaging, 3D modeling, and other digital humanities technologies, as well as traditional manuscript skills such as codicology and paleography. The summer program will take place and in collaboration with a renowned archive of medieval manuscripts, which includes the famed Vercelli Book and a large Mappa Mundi. We aim to make this program accessible to graduate students, contingent faculty, and tenured/tenure-track faculty. We are particularly interested in bringing together librarians, archivists, grad students, and faculty. Please see the attached flyer and blurb below for more information. I am happy to chat with anyone who may be interested in joining us.
