Introduction to Digital Manuscript Studies Workshop, Sydney, 29–30 June 2015

Elena Pierazzo and I are pleased to announce a workshop in Sydney this June on 'An Introduction to Digital Manuscript Studies'. Based loosely on the longer 'Medieval and Modern Manuscript Studies in the Digital Age' programme (MMSDA), this workshop will be held on Monday 29 and Tuesday 30 June 2015, at the University of Western Sydney, as part of Digital Humanities 2015. The workshop is aimed at PhD students and Early Career researchers and is sponsored by DiXiT. Registration is open from the Workshops page of the DH2015 website; 'early bird' registration closes soon so be sure to get in quickly if you are interested. The official description is in below, and please feel free to get in touch directly with me or Elena if you have any questions.

An Introduction to Digital Manuscript Studies

This workshop will teach both the theory and practice of working with manuscripts in the Digital Age. The purpose is to provide a taster of core DH theories and practice which have been tailored specifically to people working with manuscripts. Theoretical discussions will focus on the impact of digital technology on manuscript studies, and practical sessions will address the use of TEI XML to prepare editions of texts and catalogues of manuscripts, also providing a brief introduction to the digital imaging of books and documents. The workshop is aimed at PhD students and Early Career researchers and is sponsored by DiXiT (http://dixit.uni-koeln.de).
