2024 Anniversary Survey

[Posted on 14 August 2024]

In our 2024 Anniversary Year, we invite you to fill out a short Survey, to gather feedback and help us guide future activities of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence. In tune with the year’s Theme of Bridges, the Survey builds a bridge between the organizational groundwork of the RGME and our audience near and far, as we move toward the future. The Survey is open to all.

The Goals

The results would aid us to learn about your interests and wishes as we:

  1.  launch the Friends of the RGME with meetings, competitions, and prizes to welcome our wider community;
  2.  prepare for our Anniversary Episode in September to celebrate “RGME Retrospect and Prospects” (Episode 17 of our online series “The Research Group Speaks”); and
  3.  assemble an Anniversary Anthology to celebrate our our 2024 Anniversary Year as part of our program of RGME Publications.

We welcome your suggestions and feedback.

Please note that this Survey is designed to gather feedback for our in-house use, to guide our planning better attuned to our community.

Respecting privacy and confidentiality, we might at some time report aggregate views from the Survey, but without giving names. Please feel free to give your responses in confidence.

Please join our explorations of RGME identity, purpose, impact, and futures as we reflect on past accomplishments and explore new content ideas for the direction of future symposia, meetings, and publications.
