Venue: King's College London, Strand WC2R 2LS: Room S-3.20
Co-sponsor: Centre for Late Antique & Medieval studies, KCL
With great delight, the DigiPal team at the Department of Digital Humanities (King's College London) announce the programme for their third Symposium. This year's theme is the computer-assisted study of medieval manuscripts, and we have a range of papers covering language, manual and automatic script analysis, on-line curation, music notation, image retrieval and palaeography (of course!).
Places are disappearing rather rapidly, so if you'd like to attend, then please send an email to digipal [at] kcl.ac.uk, including your details as you would like them to appear on your name badge. Oh, and do let us know if you are vegetarian.
Looking forward to seeing you later this month,
Stewart Brookes and Peter Stokes
