Worked for me too Dot. I did get a brief error saying communication with the server was lost. But I'm a multi-clicker (i.e. the person credit card companies are talking to when they tell you not to refresh the page). In this case hitting the submit button a few times seemed to convince it I was serious.

Sorry about that, Norman. I have a message to the tech team asking what the problem might be. For what it's worth, I was just able to create an account in seconds. Did it get stuck at the point where it asks you to create your username and password?

We are pleased to announce that the MESA federated search is live at http://www.mesa-medieval.org

The Medieval Electronic Scholarly Alliance (MESA) is a federated international community of scholars, projects, institutions, and organizations engaged in digital scholarship within the field of medieval studies. MESA seeks both to provide a community for those engaged in digital medieval studies and to meet emerging needs of this community, including making recommendations on technological and scholarly standards for electronic scholarship, the aggregation of data, and the ability to discover and repurpose this data.

Read about MESA, click through to the Advanced Search, create an account, add some tags, join in (or start) a discussion!

Many thanks to the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation for funding, to the MESA Steering Committee for steering us through the implementation process, to our project partners for agreeing to have their projects and collections included in the first iteration of MESA, and to all the medievalists who have expressed support and interest through the last year.

Any comments, thoughts, or criticism, please contact us at mesa-medieval@gmail.com.

Most Sincerely,

Tim Stinson and Dot Porter, MESA co-directors
