I thought this petition might be of interest to archivists and others who
know how important palaeography is.

Dear medieval-religion colleagues,
****
King’s College London is undertaking what they call ‘strategic
disinvestment’ and have informed our colleague, David Ganz, on
Tuesday that funding for the Chair in Palaeography will cease from 31
August this year, when David will be out of a job. This is part of
a wider context whereby all academic staff in the School of Arts and
Humanities at King’s have to re-apply for their own jobs before the
1st March. They think this the “most humane way” of losing 22
academic posts.
King’s Chair is the only established chair in Palaeography in the UK
(held by our late members Julian Brown and Tilly de la Mare). I
am, naturally, writing on behalf of the Comite to express dismay at
the loss of the Chair but the more people who write in protest the
better.
The person to write to is: Professor Rick Trainor, The Principal,
King’s College, The Strand, London WC2R 2LS and copy to Professor Jan
Palmowski, Head of the School of Arts and Humanities.
