Dear colleagues,

I am happy to announce that the Proceedings of the Digital Humanities Congress 2012 are now available online. They include a paper I wrote on 3D and its implications for studying and digitally preserving early illuminated manuscripts http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/openbook/chapter/dhc2012-endres . The paper discusses the high resolution, interactive 3D images of the 8th-century St Chad Gospels https://lichfield.as.uky.edu and greatly expands on topics covered in my video http://youtu.be/ebr0HNnNNrs — you might find the paper especially helpful if you are using the 3D images as a way to engage students in your teaching.  

The published proceedings include many fine papers, but Andrew Prescott writes a particularly wonderful historical essay about DH as a space in which tinkering, making and theory collide. 

All best,

Bill
