CALL FOR PAPERS: DRH 2002
http://www.drh2002.lib.ed.ac.uk/
Deadline: 1 March 2002
The DRH conferences
The annual Digital Resources for the Humanities conference is the major
forum for all those involved in, and affected by, the digitization of our
cultural heritage: the scholar creating or using an electronic resource to
further research; the teacher gathering Web resources into an online
learning environment; the publisher or broadcaster integrating print or
analogue with the digital to reach new audiences; the librarian, curator
or archivist wishing to improve both access to and conservation of the
digital information that characterizes contemporary culture and
scholarship; the computer or information scientist seeking to apply new
developments to the creation, exploitation and management of humanities
resources. A volume of selected papers from the conferences is published
annually by the Office for Humanities Communication at King's College
London. See http://www.drh.org.uk/.
DRH 2002
DRH 2002 will be held at the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh University
Library, George Square, Edinburgh EH8 9LJ, Scotland UK, from 8th-11th
September 2002. Conference information will be posted on the Web site at

Subscribers to the Humanist list may find the following Rare Book School
courses to be of particular interest:
25. IMPLEMENTING ENCODED ARCHIVAL DESCRIPTION (MONDAY-FRIDAY, MARCH
11-15). Encoded Archival Description (EAD) provides standardized
machine-readable access to primary resource materials. This course is aimed
at archivists, librarians, and museum personnel who would like an
introduction to EAD that includes an extensive supervised hands-on
component. Students will learn SGML encoding techniques in part using
examples selected from among their own institution's finding aids. Topics:
the context out of which EAD emerged; introduction to the use of SGML
authoring tools and browsers; the conversion of existing finding aids to
EAD. Instructor: Daniel Pitti.
DANIEL PITTI became Project Director at the University of Virginia's
Institute for Advanced Technology in 1997, before which he was Librarian
for Advanced Technologies at the University of California, Berkeley. He was
the Coordinator of the Encoded Archival Description initiative.

Subject: Advance Notice - Manuscript Studies Symposium
ADVANCE NOTICE:
The University of London Library, the Centre for Palaeography and the
Institute of English Studies within the University of London are pleased to
announce an International Symposium entitled:
"The Future of Manuscript Studies in a Switched-On World"
to be held at the Senate House, University of London on 18th March 2002.
The symposium will be an international forum to discuss the role library
collections and services, and information technology should play in
promoting and supporting research and teaching in this field in the 21st
century.
The ULL will put forward its innovative vision for a virtual library
service, an International Manuscript Studies Portal, seeking to secure the
broadest academic feedback and support. This initiative builds on the
success of the current project funded by the UK Research Support Libraries
Programme entitled Palaeography - Developing the National Resource
(http://www.palaeography.ac.uk), under completion by a library consortium
of the University of London Library (lead site), and the Universities of
Durham and Liverpool.
We are pleased to have received much interest in both the Portal and the
symposium, and are currently finalising the list of speakers and the
conference programme. This event would be of particular interest to those
involved in manuscript and book studies, palaeography, computing in the
humanities, subject gateways and digital libraries.
Registration details will be sent out in January 2002. Further information
is available from Mura Ghosh, Palaeography Project Officer, University of
London Library, by telephone at 00 44 (0) 207 862 8475 or by e-mail at
