Hi Franz and Eyal (and DM-L),

I worked on the project and was responsible for most of its technical development during its funded period and some of the intellectual content (transcription, markup, etc.), and then Richard Lewis did further development on this afterwards. It was running perfectly find until a server replacement meant that the server it was on was decommissioned. Since neither Richard nor I work for UEA any more they were unwilling to let us have access to their servers to set it up again. We have approached them several times to try and sort this out, it really wouldn't be too difficult. All the data is safe and backed up so the site could certainly be put up again. The problem comes that since David's death all IPR residing in the project belongs to the University of East Anglia, rather than myself or Richard. (This is in spite of David's own desire for this material to be openly available.) I spent 3 years of my life working on it and would love it to be put back up. I'm occasionally contacted by people who wish access to it, and I forward them on to UEA as reminders while pointing them to the wayback machine version. Your message has spurred me to try again.

Apologies,

-James

Dear Eyal,

Very sadly the CURSUS project is dead. You access most of ththe material via Internet Archive's WayBack machine:

Dear List Members,

A few years back I much enjoyed using the Cursus database  - a wonderful source for the study of English liturgy created by the late David Chadd.  Does anyone know what happened to the site (http://www.cursus.uea.ac.uk/)?  It appears to have disappeared, and the email address provided is also a dead-end.

With many thanks
