CFP: Early Modern Digital Humanities
by WILDER, COLIN Feb. 15, 2013

Feb. 15, 2013

Dear Colleagues, I am organizing a panel or panels on the theme of "Early Modern Digital Humanities" for the Sixteenth Century Society and Conference (to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on October 24-27, 2013)<http://computatiohumanitatis.tumblr.com/post/41275275581/cfp-sixteenth-cent…>. Despite its name, the SCSC is really concerned with the whole run of time ca. 1450-1700 or so. Proposals for individual papers of all sorts on this theme are very welcome. I think that there may be enough interest in the early modern historical, literary, art-historical and other communities to put together more than one panel; which would be great. Papers might be such things as * applications of digital methods like spatial, network, text or image analysis * reports on progress of or problems in digitization efforts, whether text, image, audio or other (especially perhaps electronic text curation) * treatments of meta-topics concerning data, informatics, convergence of knowledge systems or similar which might lend themselves to electronic representation * treatments of virtual representations of things early modern, such as buildings, landscapes or sensory patterns * Who knows? The sky's the limit. The submission deadline is March 15, so interested participants should contact me by about March 8. Sincerely yours, Colin Wilder <link to this announcement><http://computatiohumanitatis.tumblr.com/post/43156888834/early-modern-digit…> ------------ Dr. Colin F.

CfP: Digital Diplomatics 2013, Paris nov. 2013
by Georg Vogeler Feb. 10, 2013

Feb. 10, 2013

** Sorry for cross-Posting! *** Dear list, CfP: Digital Diplomatics 2013: What is Diplomatics in the Digital Environment? Diplomatics has changed fundamentally in the last few decades due to dramatic developments in information technology. While consolidating itself as an autonomous science with its own centuries-old theory, methodology, analytical processes and tools, focused on research on medieval and early modern legal documents, it has also grown into an interdisciplinary field, expanding its area of inquiry to all kinds of textual traditions, documentary forms and creation processes through the use of sophisticated digital tools. "We shape our tools, and then our tools shape us" said Marshal McLuhan. Following the two conferences on Digital Diplomatics that took place in 2007 in Munich and 2011 in Naples, this conference, to be held in Paris, 14-16th november 2013, has the goal to further the scholarly reflection on the way in which diplomatics has developed as a result of both the opportunities offered by digital tools to study historical documents and the challenges presented by born digital documents and by the need to understand their structure and of the complex digital environments in which they reside. You can find the full call for papers with all the necessary informations on how to send in your proposal at http://www.cei.lmu.de/digdipl13/call-for-papers. The deadline for the proposals is 2013, March 15th. We are looking forward to your proposals! in the name of the program committee: Georg Vogeler -- ------------------------------------- Dr. Georg Vogeler Zentrum für Informationsmodellierung in den Geisteswissenschaften Karl-Franzens-UniversitÃ¤t Graz Merangasse 70 - A-8010 Graz Tel. +43 (0)316 380 - 8033 Institut für Dokumentologie und Editorik <http://www.i-d-e.de> Association Paléographique Internationale - Culture .

Digitale Westfaelische Urkunden-Datenbank gestartet
by Marcus Weidner Jan. 23, 2012

Jan. 23, 2012

Digitale Westfälische Urkunden-Datenbank - über 85.000 Urkundenregesten online http://www.dwud.lwl.org Wer sich bisher einen Überblick über historische Urkunden verschaffen wollte, war gezwungen, viele Orte aufzusuchen. Denn die archivische Überlieferung in Westfalen-Lippe aus dem Mittelalter und der Frühneuzeit ist aufgrund der vielen Kleinstaaten, die sich in der Region seit dem Mittelalter herausgebildet hatten, außerordentlich zerstreut. Im Rahmen des Kooperationsprojekts "Digitale Westfälische Urkunden-Datenbank" (DWUD) machen das LWL-Institut für westfälische Regionalgeschichte und das LWL-Archivamt für Westfalen - in Kooperation mit der Stiftung Westfalen-Initiative - die heute auf viele staatliche, kommunale, private und kirchliche Archive verteilten Quellen nun online unter der Webadresse www.dwud.lwl.org öffentlich zugänglich. Bereits in den 1930er Jahren war von Archivaren der Plan entwickelt worden, über die Archiv- und Bestandsgrenzen hinweg einen Gesamtnachweis aller westfälischen Urkunden zu schaffen. Auf Karteikarten wurden seitdem von den Mitarbeitern der Vorläufereinrichtung des heutigen LWL-Archivamts für Westfalen so genannte Regesten verfasst, die inhaltliche Zusammenfassungen der Urkunden enthalten, die im Rahmen von Betreuungs- oder Erschließungsarbeiten in die Hand genommen worden waren. Auf diese Weise kamen bis in die 1970er Jahre rund 65.000 chronologisch geordnete Karteikarten aus über 250 Archivbeständen aus ganz Westfalen-Lippe zusammen. "Eine Menge, die man mit traditionellen Mitteln nicht mehr beherrschen konnte. Dies bedeutete das Ende der Arbeiten, und so ruhte dieser große kulturelle Schatz Westfalens seitdem in den Magazinräumen des Archivs", erklärt Projektleiter Dr. Marcus Weidner vom LWL-Institut für westfälische Regionalgeschichte. Als neues Modul des Internet-Portals "Westfälische Geschichte", das Service- und Informationsangebote rund um die Geschichte Westfalens bietet, können Interessierte auf viele dieser Regesten nun über das Internet zugreifen. "Der besondere Vorteil liegt darin, dass Interessierte nun gleichzeitig alle in DWUD verfügbaren Archivbestände durchsuchen können – jederzeit und von zuhause aus", so Weidner. DWUD bietet aber nicht nur die digitalisierten Karteikarten, die nach Datum und Archiv aufrufbar sind, sondern darüber hinaus auch zehntausende Urkundenregesten, deren Textinhalte im vollen Wortlaut durchsucht werden können. Zahlreiche staatliche, kommunale, kirchliche oder private Archive haben hierfür ihre Urkundenregesten zur Verfügung gestellt, darunter die Mitglieder der Vereinigten Westfälischen Adelsarchive e.V. und das Landesarchiv NRW Abteilung Westfalen. Doch Dr. Peter Worm vom LWL-Archivamt, der für das Projekt aus archivfachlicher Sicht verantwortlich ist, möchte mehr: "Langfristiges Ziel ist es, eine speziell auf die Quellengattung 'Urkunde' ausgerichtete Internetpräsenz zu schaffen, in die alle Einrichtungen, die über Urkunden aus Westfalen-Lippe verfügen, ihre Regesten einspeisen können. Zudem soll das Angebot ständig erweitert werden." Mit über 85.000 Regesten, die nun freigeschaltet worden sind, ist hierfür der Grundstein gelegt. Die beiden LWL-Einrichtungen versprechen sich von dem Projekt, in das auch Drittmittel der Westfalen-Initiative und des Westfälisch-Lippischen Sparkassen- und Giroverbandes eingeflossen sind, vielfältige Impulse für die Beschäftigung mit westfälischer Geschichte. "Heimat- und Familienforscher können besonders davon profitieren, da über eine spezielle Suche, die nicht exakt die Buchstaben, sondern deren Laut analysiert, nach Orts- und Personennamen gesucht werden kann, die von der heutigen Schreibung abweichen. Da hat es schon Aha-Erlebnisse von Testern gegeben, die nach ihren Ahnen gesucht haben", sagt Weidner.

cfp: SDH 2011 Supporting the Digital Humanities, 17/18 Nov 2011 Copenhagen
by Georg Vogeler June 23, 2011

June 23, 2011

With apologies for cross-posting. Please forward to anyone who might be interested. First call for papers *SDH 2011 Supporting the Digital Humanities: Answering the unaskable* 17-18 November, Copenhagen Following the first successful SDH conference in Vienna in 2010, the CLARIN and DARIAH initiatives have decided to jointly organise the second SDH conference in Copenhagen, Denmark in November 2011. The conference venue will be at the University of Copenhagen, a participant in both CLARIN and DARIAH. Digital technologies have the potential to transform the types of research questions that we ask in the Humanities, and to allow us to address traditional questions in new and exciting ways, but ultimately they will also allow us to answer questions that we were not even aware we could ask, hence the title of this conference. How can digital humanities help us not just to find the answers to our research questions more quickly and more easily, but also to formulate research questions we would never have been able to ask without access to large quantities of digital data and sophisticated tools for their analysis? Supporting the Digital Humanities will be a forum for the discussion of these innovations, and of the ways in which these new forms of research can be facilitated and supported. CLARIN and DARIAH are creating European research infrastructures for the humanities and related disciplines. SDH2011 aims to bring together infrastructure providers and users from the communities involved with the two infrastructure initiatives. The conference will consist of a number of topical sessions where providers and users will present and discuss results, obstacles and opportunities for digitally-supported humanities research. Participants are encouraged to engage with honest assessments of the intellectual problems and practical barriers in an open and constructive atmosphere. The first SDH conference in 2010 gave a broad and multi-facetted presentation of the domains of interest to CLARIN and DARIAH. This time we have chosen a somewhat more focussed approach, focussing on two major themes, but not excluding other themes of interest for the humanities. The two themes are: • Sound and movement – music, spoken word, dance and theatre • Text and things – text, and the relationship between text and material artefacts, such as manuscript, stone or other carriers of text Submissions are invited for individual papers and posters, as well as panels. Focus should be on tools and methods for the analysis of digital data rather than on digitisation processes themselves, both from the provider and from the user perspective. We want to pay special attention to inspiring showcases that demonstrate the innovative power of digital methods in the humanities. *Some important dates:* July 15, 2011: Submission of suggestion for panels July 24, 2011: Submission of abstracts (4 pages) August 15, 2011: Notification on panel proposals September 15, 2011: Author notification October 15, 2011: Final version of papers for publication (8 pages).
