This step came after the cancellation of the Congress in 2020 and an online Congress in both 2021 and 2022. For 2024, our <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/profile\/seminars-workshops-colloquia-and-symposia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Symposia<\/a> join this return, with the invitation to hold our Spring Symposium at <a href=\"https:\/\/vassar.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vassar College<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For some of our Symposia, whether in-person at Princeton University in 2019 (and intended there in 2020), or online by Zoom in 2022, 2023, and 2024, our RGME Associates at Vassar have given presentations about their work, the Library, and Special Collections.

This inaugural event turned into the series of <strong>Annual Symposia on <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/symposia-on-the-transmission-of-the-bible\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;The Transmission of the Bible&#8221;<\/a><\/strong> (1995\u20132000). Others followed, by turns, at Princeton University (1996 and 1999), Rutgers University (1997 and 2000), and Fordham University (1998), concluding with the fifth at Rutgers University.<\/p>\n<p>Then, for a time, we concentrated energies on other activities, until our <strong>Symposia (or Colloquia)<\/strong> resumed as a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/the-new-series\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New Series<\/a> <\/strong>on various subjects, held variously at the British Museum (2002), The Ohio State University (2003), and Princeton University (2009, 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2019\u20132020).<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, our <strong>2020 Spring Symposium<\/strong> scheduled for Princeton University had to be cancelled on account of the Covid pandemic, but we published its illustrated Symposium Booklet. In 2022, we resumed our Symposia, albeit in online format, as we had turned to online activities in 2021. With the creation of an online approach, we also expanded our activities with new series of events as well. (See <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/the-research-group-speaks-the-series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;The Research Group Speaks&#8221;: The Series<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/manuscriptevidence.org\/wpme\/rgme-online-events\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">RGME Online Events<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>We expanded the pattern of renewal by holding a pair of <strong>Spring and Autumn Symposia<\/strong> in both 2022 and 2023. The pairs in 2022 and 2023 took their overarching theme from the RGME <strong>Theme for the Year<\/strong> \u2014 itself an innovation, selected by the <strong>RGME Editorial Committee<\/strong>, formed in early 2022. Then, with the <strong>2022 Autumn Symposium<\/strong>, we resumed our tradition of publishing <strong>Illustrated Symposium Booklets<\/strong> for distribution at the event and beyond, in printed and digital form.
