\"Gold-stamped<\/a>At the International Congress on Medieval Studies
\n1993\u20121995, 1997, and 2003\u2012<\/h1>\n

[Originally published on the first website of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence on 11 August 2006, with updates both there and here<\/em>.]<\/p>\n

Since 1993, the Research Group has sponsored Sessions at the International Congress on Medieval Studies<\/strong><\/a> held at Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo.\u00a0 Between 1995 and 2003, the Research Group concentrated on other endeavors, including the annual series of Symposia on “The Transmission of the Bible”<\/strong> from 1995 to 2000, our incorporation as a nonprofit educational corporation in 1999, and a set of co-sponsored Seminars, Workshops, Colloquia & Symposia<\/strong><\/a> at various institutions, starting in 2001.<\/p>\n

\"Logo<\/a>Since 2003, the Research Group has resumed its sponsorship of sessions at the Congress.\u00a0\u00a0 Since 2006, the Research Group also co-sponsors sessions there with other scholarly organizations, listed as our\u00a0 Co-Sponsored Conference Sessions<\/strong><\/a>. Accordingly, the Sponsored Conference Sessions<\/strong><\/a> are listed in their own group.<\/p>\n

The programs for each year’s Sessions, both Sponsored and Co-Sponsored, and for other events accompanying them (photographic exhibitions or receptions), appear in our Kalamazoo Congress Archive<\/strong><\/a>, as indicated in the links provided here.<\/p>\n

Since 2007, we publish on our website the Abstracts of Papers and Responses, as their authors allow.\u00a0 The Abstracts may be accessed through the reports of their individual Sessions or through the indexed Lists of Abstracts of Conference Papers either By Author<\/strong><\/a> or By Year<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since 2011, we produce Posters for our Sessions, distributed at the Congress and then (since 2014) posted on our website in the reports for our activities at each Congress.\u00a0 In the first year, we created an illustrated Poster for one of our Sessions.\u00a0\u00a0 By the second year, we prepared Posters for each of our Congress Sessions, sponsored and co-sponsored. This practice then extended to our Symposia<\/a> at other locations (for example, 2013<\/a> and 2014<\/a>). In 2015, with the launch of our redesigned website, a Gallery exhibits the designs of our RGME Posters on Display<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In 2015, for the first time, we produced an illustrated Program Booklet for one of our Sponsored Sessions, similar to the booklets for our Symposia and Colloquia<\/a> in recent years.\u00a0 Distributed at the events and, after the events, in printed (pdf) form on our website (since 2014), these booklets contain information about the event, its subject, and scope, along with Abstracts of the Papers.<\/p>\n

Sessions Sponsored by the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence<\/h2>\n

In the early years of our Sponsored Sessions, the logo of the Research Group on Manuscript Evidence appeared in its first, monochrome, version.\u00a0 Following 1999, the year of our incorporation as a New Jersey Nonprofit Corporation, the logo appeared in another, colored version, as an alternate rather than as a replacement.<\/p>\n
