The high-quality version of the 2022 Autumn Symposium Program Booklet, incorporating a few small corrections, is now ready.

This 56-page Booklet marks a return to our Research Group tradition of preparing Program Booklets for Symposia and some other events. (See our Publications.) Most recently, the Program Booklet for the 2020 Spring Symposium — which had to be cancelled at the start of shutdowns for the Covid pandemic — was produced as a form of record, souvenir, and promise for the intentions for the two-day event at Princeton University. You may find it freely as a downloadable pdf in either consecutive pages or foldable booklet.

Printed copies of the 2022 Autumn Symposium Program Booklet will be distributed on request, to the participants and others. If you wish a printed copy, please contact please contact director@manuscriptevidence.org and provide your mailing address.

The digital version can be downloaded freely here. We provide two formats, or ‘flavors’, of the digital Program Booklet, in consecutive pages and as a foldable booklet. The choice depends upon your printing facilities and preferences. Experience shows us that the choice can be helpful for downloads of our Program Booklets and Research Reports.

[Posted on 15 March 2022, with updates]

In 2022, the Research Group returns to our series of Symposia (formerly held in person). The series underwent an interruption with the cancelled 2020 Spring Symposium, “From Cover to Cover”. See its record in the illustrated Program Booklet, with Abstracts of the planned presentations and workshops. Its core and its promise inspire this renewal.

This year, each Symposium in the pair is designed as a one-day event, with sessions and workshops of about 1 and 1/2 hours, giving scope for discussion. The Spring Symposium will be held online by Zoom. (The Autumn Symposium would be held online, but, conditions permitting, it might be hybrid, that is, partly in person, as well as online.) See 2022 Spring and Autumn Symposia.

Structures of Knowledge (Spring)
Structures for Knowledge (Autumn)

These events, by request, flow in addition to — and partly from — our other activities during the year:

1) Continuing Episodes in the online series of The Research Group Speaks (2021–)

https://manuscriptevidence.org/wpme/the-research-group-speaks-the-series/

Catalogs, Metadata, and Databases (Part I)

2) Our four sponsored and c0-sponsored Congress Sessions at the 57th International Congress on Medieval Studies (online) in May

https://manuscriptevidence.org/wpme/2022-international-congress-on-medieval-studies-program
(Abstracts of the Papers are included).

Structured Knowledge (Parts I and II)

The interlinked pair of Spring and Autumn Symposia examine themes of Structured Knowledge.

Some proposed presentations at these Symposia offer refreshed materials which had been planned for the cancelled 2020 Spring Symposium.

See https://manuscriptevidence.org/wpme/2020-spring-symposium-save-the-date, with a published Program Booklet including illustrations and Abstracts.

The Spring Symposium is dedicated to “Structures of Knowledge”. The Autumn Symposium considers “Supports for Knowledge”. Sessions include approaches to databases and library catalogs; specific case studies and projects; issues relating to reproductions and display, research and teaching, and more.

Part I: Spring Symposium (Saturday, 2 April 2022)

Presenters, Respondents, and Presiders for the Spring Symposium include (in alphabetical order): Phillip A. Bernhardt-House, Linde M. Brocato, Mildred Budny, Katharine C. Chandler, Barbara Williams Ellertson, Howard German, Hannah Goeselt, Thomas E. Hill, Eric. J. Johnson, Zoey Kambour, David Porreca, Jessica L. Savage, Derek Shank, Ronald Smeltzer, and David W. Sorenson.

As the Program evolves, adapting to changes in some speakers’ plans or requirements, we thank all the speakers who responded willingly to such changes, even at short notice, for example by expanding an intended “Response” to a “Presentation”, or the reverse, so as to keep to the time-allotments of the Sessions. We also thank the Presiders for their help in monitoring each of the Sessions during the course of the Symposium.

We acknowledge, with thanks, the renewed sponsorship of the Symposia this year by Barbara A. Shailor.
