Manuscripts in the 21st Century Workshop (Nov. 4th-5th, 2016)
By PMI on October 1, 2016
We are excited to announce that we will be hosting a 2-day workshop called “Manuscripts in the 21st Century” at the University of Maryland, College Park, Nov. 4-5!
The workshop will bring together technical specialists from the Perseids Project, Digital Latin Library, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript Studies (UPenn), Omeka, and the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities to discuss the technical challenges for the creation of an online “manuscript workspace.”
Please email the Roshan Institute for Persian Studies coordinator, Samar Ata (sata@umd.edu), if you have any questions on logistics, or Matthew Thomas Miller (mtmiller@umd.edu) for questions on content.
