For the 50th International Congress on Medieval Studies, the Research Group had 2 sponsored and 3 co-sponsored Sessions. They build, in part, upon our 2014 Congress in our Anniversary Year. The aims of the 2015 sessions are described in our 2015 Congress Call for Papers.
As before, we co-sponsored sessions with the Societas Magica (since 2006) and with the Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies at the University of Florida (since 2014). Like last year, we sponsored a celebratory Reception — now with both the Societas Magica and the Index of Christian Art at Princeton University.
For the first time, our Business Meeting was open to all and listed in the Congress Schedule, which presents the Program as a whole (see below).
Here we announce the events as accomplished, with their Posters. We also post the Abstracts of Papers. A new Feature of our website this year are the

With the shaping of the Program as a whole for the 2025 International Congress on Medieval Studies (ICMS), we announce the Program for the Activities sponsored and co-sponsored by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence. They comprise sponsored and co-sponsored Sessions of Papers; and our Annual Open Business Meeting at the Congress.
For information about the 2025 Congress overall, see its website.

Building upon our successful activities at the 2024 ICMS (see our 2024 International Congress on Medieval Studies Report), we prepared for the 2025 ICMS. First we proposed a set of sessions, sponsored and co-sponsored. Then, when they had been accepted by the Congress Committee, we issued the Call for Papers (CFP) for our proposed Sessions. The strength and number of the responses by the due date (15 September 2024) led us to seek, in some cases, two sessions in place of the one which we had proposed.
Now that the Congress Program itself has been scheduled, we can present the Program of our activities, both sponsored and co-sponsored.
We give thanks to our organizers, co-organizers, presenters, respondents, advisors, and the Congress.
