Digital Philology: A Journal of Medieval Cultures reveals alternative modes of contact for medieval scholars, librarians, and archivists specializing in medieval studies and medieval texts, made possible by the emergence of digital resources and by engagement with the digital humanities. The journal's global and interdisciplinary perspective pushes traditional national and temporal boundaries as the first such publication linking peer-reviewed research and scholarship with digital libraries of medieval manuscripts. Published twice a year, Digital Philology includes scholarly essays, manuscript studies, and reviews of relevant resources such as websites, digital projects, and books.

Macdonald is making a series of computer-aided drawings utilizing both the Wacom cintiq and the Apple iPad. The drawings will be printed out onto thick drawing paper, thus, keeping them in the realm of ‘fine’ art, but they will also be posted on Macdonald’s personal website, thus keeping them in the digital world.

Digital humanities tends to focus on delivery systems, specifically faster access to digitized versions of printed works. This project incorporates that focus by helping to digitize the rich medieval manuscript collection of the Five Colleges. But computational power offers much more than delivery systems, very little of which has been used in the study of ancient texts. This project also explores means and methods for incorporating the mathematical processing speed of computers into the discipline of codicology (the study of books as material objects).

This open access database offers unique resources related to the production of the first two generations of women directors in Spain, providing digitized copies of ephemera and films that have previously only been viewable in the Film Archives in Madrid.

A publicly accessible online database hosted by the Folger Shakespeare Library (Washington, DC) that makes available the more than 13,000 records in the database of the Private Libraries of Renaissance England Project, the major resource for records of private ownership of books in England before 1650. Fully searchable in a wide variety of categories, including major subjects, the PLRE database offers a different and complementary presentation of the material available in the printed volumes of the PLRE project.

This project will create an interactive map of the Mahaiwe cemetery in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, which contains the graves of W.E.B. DuBois’ immediate relatives and family members, as well as graves of other African-American residents of the Great Barrington area.

This will be an edited collection of primary documents, mainly from manuscript archival sources, connected with the search for the press that produced the Martin Marprelate tracts (1588-1589), the most notorious pamphlets of the English Renaissance. These documents offer an unrivaled source of detailed evidence concerning the day-to-day workings of an underground print campaign in the early modern period. The collection includes all the extant material connected with the controversy: several important documents included here have never been published before, and previously published documents are freshly transcribed as well as annotated and introduced.

An online corpus of oral and written production of heritage and L2 speakers of Spanish and Portuguese in New England. The development of this corpus will help to document the linguistic pluralism of New England, and allow future generations to study language change by heritage populations in this region.

The goal of this project is to provide access to a rich source of diverse media that inform the study of historic dress, to engage target audiences and facilitate knowledge building, to enable shared understanding by developing standard terminology specific to the description of historic dress, and to create a resource that is flexible and sustainable.

Despite being a subject of intense scholarly study for centuries, Pompeii lacks both a single, searchable bibliography and a standard, up-to-date map. Eric Poehler, Assistant Professor in Classics, is building an exhaustive subject repository searchable through a GIS map that will solve both these problems and offer powerful search methods that will revolutionize research on the ancient city.

An archaeological and architectural research project committed to conducting the definitive study of one of the largest and most important monumental buildings in the World Heritage site of Pompeii, Italy. The project uses cutting-edge technology to improve the fieldwork, analysis, interpretation, presentation and publication of findings.
