To: “Institute@lists.uvic.ca” <Institute@lists.uvic.ca>
Dear friends and colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting. On November 4th-5th, Roshan Institute for
Persian Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park will host the “
Manuscripts in the Digital Age Workshop,” which is co-sponsored by Tufts
University’s Perseids Project (http://perseids.org/), UMD’s Arts and
Humanities Center for Synergy (http://arhusynergy.umd.edu/), UMD’s School
of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures (SLLC) (http://sllc.umd.edu/), and Kent
State University’s School of Library and Information Science
(https://www.kent.edu/slis)). It will bring together researchers, curators,
librarians, and technical specialists from the Perseus Digital Library,
Library of Congress, Digital Latin Library, Schoenberg Institute for
Manuscript Studies (UPenn), Freer & Sackler Galleries, and Maryland
Institute for Technology in the Humanities to discuss the technical
challenges for the creation of an integrated online “manuscript workspace.”
The technical participants in this workshop want to better understand the
needs and types of functionality that scholars, students, citizen
scientists, and those working in the GLAM sector would ideally like to see
in such a workspace. For this reason, we are asking any of you who work on
manuscripts to consider taking this very brief questionnaire
(http://kentstate.az1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_9F8TmPXVOAZ1GHH) about what
types of features and functionality you would like to see developed for
digital manuscript studies: [link to survey: http://kentstate.az1.qualtrics
