With Apologies for Cross Posting.
On November 4th-5th, Roshan Institute for Persian Studies at the
University of Maryland, College Park will host the “Manuscripts in the
Digital Age Workshop,"
(http://sllc.umd.edu/events/manuscripts-digital-age-workshop) which is
co-sponsored by Tufts University’s Perseids Project, UMD’s Arts and
Humanities Center for Synergy, UMD’s School of Languages, Literatures,
and Cultures (SLLC), and Kent State University’s School of Library and
Information Science).
The workshop will bring together researchers, curators, librarians, and
technical specialists from the Perseus Digital Library, Library of
Congress, Digital Latin Library, Schoenberg Institute for Manuscript
Studies (UPenn), Freer & Sackler Galleries, and Maryland Institute for
Technology in the Humanities to discuss the technical challenges for the
creation of an integrated online "manuscript workspace."
The technical participants in this workshop want to better understand
the needs and types of functionality that scholars, students, citizen
scientists, and those working in the GLAM sector would ideally like to
see in such a workspace. For this reason, we are asking any of you who
work on manuscripts to consider completing a very brief questionnaire
about what types of features and functionality you would like to see
developed for digital manuscript studies.
Please consider filling out our survey at

Thank you!
