medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
The 2014 conference of CILIP’s Library and Information History Group will have the theme “Medieval and Renaissance Lost Libraries”. It will be held at Senate House in London on Saturday 12 July 2014. The guest speaker is Dr. Raphaële Mouren, Librarian and Deputy Director of the Warburg Institute. A short walking tour, led by Alice Ford-Smith will take place after the conference, but places are limited to 20 people.
Papers are welcome on such topics as libraries that have been destroyed either deliberately or accidentally, stolen books and libraries, fractured collections and losses due to weeding policy, as well as tracing lost libraries and re-creating catalogues. Examples may be taken from any country in the world.
Abstracts of no more than 250 words (for individual 20 minute papers) should be sent to Monica Blake at [log in to unmask] by 3 March 2014. Accepted conference papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the journal Library & Information History.
A student bursary is being offered which covers conference fees and refreshments, but not travel expenses. The deadline for the bursary is the 1st of May 2014. Applications can be made by emailing a short paragraph explaining why you would like to attend the conference along with a one page CV to the Chair, Renae Satterley: [log in to unmask]
The conference will cost £40 to LIHG members, £50 to non-members and £30 to students. Booking will open after the CFP has been closed.
LIHG is very keen to attract a wider audience which is why I am posting this CFP on this list-serv.
