-------- Original Message -------- Subject: Online Manuscript Research: e-mail list Date: 05 Sep 2007 10:20:36 +0100 From: Christopher Burlinson cmb29@cam.ac.uk

Dear all,

Following on from the July symposium hosted by Scriptorium: Medieval and Early Modern Manuscripts Online, we have set up an Online Manuscript Research e-mail list (hosted by jiscmail.ac.uk). We would like to invite you to join the list, and encourage you to post to it (and also ask for your assistance in spreading the word and encouraging your colleagues to do so!).

The list aims to foster collaboration and discussion between the different professional and academic groups involved in online manuscript research. It is intended to be a place for announcements (of seminars, conferences, new online resources, and so on), the dissemination of information of all kinds, practical questions about manuscripts and about technology, and discussions about the functions, possibilities, and pitfalls of online manuscript research. We anticipate it being of use to all the areas which demand inter-disciplinary and inter-professional work: manuscript preservation, archival work, project management, digitization, encoding, rights management, and so on.

To join the list, please just send an e-mail to LISTSERV@jiscmail.ac.uk with a blank subject line, and, in the body of the message:

SUBSCRIBE manuscripts-online <your name>

Your e-mail address will be taken from the e-mail that you send. Further instructions on how to use the list will be sent to you, by jiscmail, when you join.

We hope that the list will be beneficial to you all, and to our colleagues in the field, and we beg your patience for any troubles that it experiences as we get it on its feet.

best wishes christopher burlinson
