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:
The Program for the 2026 Congress appears on the Congress website.
With the completion of the Call for Papers, the selection of their proposals, the design of each session (with presider, sequence of papers, etc.), and the ICMS’s formation of the full Congress Program, we announce our Program of activities at the 2026 Congress (including sessions and our annual Open Business Meeting). We describe the activities one by one, now in the sequence in which they will occur.
The Program and information for the 2026 Congress appears on the Congress website.
To find our Sessions and Business Meeting there, search under Sponsoring Organization
Search for the RGME (or our Co-Sponsor for the given session). In the Sponsors’ list, you will find our sessions as a group:
The participation by the RGME at the Annual ICMS over the years is chronicled in our blog
Now we turn to the 2026 Congress and invite you to join our activities.
