DigiPal One-Day Symposium

Date: Monday 16th September 2013

Venue: King's College London, Strand

Co-sponsor: Centre for Late Antique & Medieval studies, KCL

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.ukhttp://kcl.ac.uk/

The deadline for the receipt of submissions is 10.23pm on Wednesday 3rd July 2013
