Here we list the Program of Activities of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence (RGME) at the 2026 International Congress on Medieval Studies (ICMS).
First we collaboratively designed a suite of Sessions (Panels of Papers) to sponsor or co-sponsor at this year’s Congress and, when they were accepted for the Congress, issued the Call for Papers:
With the completion of the Call for Papers, the next stages followed: selecting among the proposals received, designing each session (assigning the presider, sequence of papers, etc.), and submitting the session programs to the ICMS. Upon the formation of the full Congress Program (see link below), we announce the RGME Program of activities at the 2026 Congress—including the Sessions and our annual Open Business Meeting. We describe the activities one by one in the assigned sequence in which they will occur.
