Call for proposals for Video Lightning Talks to be posted to the SIMS YouTube Channel as part of the 13th Annual (Virtual) Schoenberg Symposium on Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age, November 18-20, 2020

In the early spring of 2020, as the world shut down, scholarship and teaching were thrown into a virtual, online world. In the hands-on world of manuscripts studies, students, teachers, researchers, librarians, and curators lost physical access to the very objects upon which their work centered. But we were ready. Thanks to world-wide digitization efforts over the past twenty years, scholars at all levels and around the world have, by all counts, virtual access to more manuscripts and manuscript-related metadata than even a generation ago and are benefited by a broad array of digital tools, technologies, and resources that allow them to locate, gather, analyze, and interrogate digitized manuscripts and related metadata.

This is the topic that the 2020 Schoenberg Symposium will be focused on. Along with the Symposium, we are issuing invitations for Lightning Talk videos to be posted as a series to the SIMS YouTube Channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/SchoenbergInstitute/)

Videos must be five minutes long or shorter, and may present any project relating to manuscript studies in the digital age.

Submit your proposal here: https://forms.gle/6zJqNUgFgwbCxsyq5

Deadline for submitting applications is October 28 Applicants will be notified by November 4

Lightning Talk videos must be five minutes or shorter. Longer videos will be shortened before being posted online.

Videos must be submitted to SIMS by November 11

The symposium is Free and is open to the public! For more about the symposium, including registration, visit the website here: https://www.library.upenn.edu/about/exhibits-events/ljs-symposium13

Thanks and we look forward to reading your proposals!
