The Hill Monastic Manuscript Library is offering a SUMMER APPRENTICESHIP
IN ARCHIVAL SKILLS FOR MEDIEVAL & RENAISSANCE STUDIES
June 18-July 13, 2001
The Apprenticeship is a four-week intensive experience in
research techniques co-sponsored by the College of William & Mary and
Saint John’s University (SJU). The goal is to allow select
undergraduates from both schools, and graduate students from other
universities, the opportunity to learn how to conduct research at a
major depository of medieval manuscripts on microfilm, documents, and
art historical material dealing with the Middle Ages and Renaissance.
The Apprenticeship includes a review of aspects of material
culture, especially medieval book culture and orality, paleography,
codicology, and manuscript illumination while drawing on examples from
among original manuscripts, facsimiles, and microfilm available at the
Hill Library.
Three key components of the Apprenticeship are 1) an on-going
seminar with research topics presented by distinguished scholars from
William & Mary, Saint John’s University and elsewhere; 2) participation
in the work of the Hill Library cataloguing medieval manuscripts on
microfilm; and 3) guided individual programs of study.
A maximum of 8 students will be accepted. Some spaces are still
available. The instructor is Professor George Greenia, Director of the
Program in Medieval & Renaissance Studies at William and Mary College,
VA. For more information, please go to:
