Dear all,
It is with great delight that the DigiPal team at the Department of Digital Humanities (King's College London),
announce their third Symposium. We've built up a scholarly camaraderie over the last two years and much
look forward to our annual opportunity to discuss and debate the computer-assisted study of medieval
handwriting and manuscripts. Of course, we'll need some papers. So…
----------------------------------
How to propose a paper
----------------------------------
Papers of 20 minutes in length are invited on any aspect of digital approaches to the study of medieval
handwriting and manuscripts.
The topics below might help guide potential submissions:
• terminology for describing handwriting
• visualisation of manuscript evidence and data
• meaning and mining in palaeography
• automatic letter-form identification
• methods for dating/localising script
• crowd-sourcing in palaeography
• the practical and theoretical consequences of the use of digital images
• examples of research that would benefit from a Digital Humanities (or DigiPal) approach
The above are only serving suggestions, so please don't feel limited to these topics.
To propose a paper, please email a brief abstract (250 words max.) to digipal [at] kcl.ac.uk
The deadline for the receipt of submissions is 10.23pm on Wednesday 3rd July 2013
