Archeometric analysis of inks from Coptic manuscripts

The main aim of this research project is to record the technological
evolution of writing inks in early Christian Egypt. We aim at
reconstructing a geo-chronological map displaying the types of ink used
in different areas. Our multi-analytical approach consists of different
imaging and spectroscopic techniques to detect the composition of black
and coloured inks. Once enough data have been collected, we will be able
to place in time and space unknown manuscripts. In the meanwhile, our
work supports palaeographic and codicological studies, helping
distinguish different writing phases on a manuscript or in the
reconstruction of ancient libraries.

Dear All,

please come to our first DH seminar in Semester 2. It will take place on
Friday, the 23^rd of August at 3pm in the Kevin Lee Room.

Anya Adair of the University of Hong Kong will talk about “From Workshop
to Research Hub: A Path to Developing your DH Project from the Ground Up”.

More details can be found under my signature.

All the best,

Seminar

From Workshop to Research Hub: A Path to Developing your DH Project
from the Ground Up

Presenter: Dr. Anya Adair (University of Hong Kong)

This talk describes potential pathways to developing and growing
successful digital humanities projects under what might be called
adverse conditions: without sustained programming or IT support, in
uncertain funding environments, and with limited personal expertise in
the digital field. Drawing on my own experience developing and growing
successful small-scale digital humanities programmes in the US, UK and
Australia outside traditional institutional structures, the talk covers
strategies for sourcing and securing funding, developing a public
presence and publicity materials, building institutional support, and
creating an international network for a growing project hub. The focus
of the strategy is on leveraging small-scale projects into larger
programmes, building DH to existing 'traditional' research projects and
teaching programmes, and making use of DH as part of individual
professional and career development. At the same time, the approach
acknowledges the limitations of DH in research and teaching, and the
real-world challenges of its practice for the individual scholar
building an academic career. This practical seminar aims to close with a
breakout session offering attendees the opportunity to workshop and
strategise their own ideas for digital initiatives.

Dr. Anya Adair is Assistant Professor in Law and Humanities at the
University of Hong Kong, and is currently involved in the development of
HKU’s Digital Humanities Hub in the Faculty of Arts. Anya holds a
Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Laws from the University of Melbourne
and graduate degrees in English Literature from Melbourne, Oxford and
Yale. She has taught across the fields of medieval and modern English
literature, creative writing, the history of the English language,
palaeography and codicology, legal history and theory, and digital
humanities. Anya researches medieval English literature, as well as
pre-modern English law and legal culture. Her focus is the Old English
period, but her research extends also to Old Norse and Anglo-Latin,
medieval language interaction, book history and manuscript studies,
poetry and poetics, and the digital humanities. In all of these
dimensions, Anya's research is driven by a fascination with the minutiae
of language, and the potential of its smallest detail to solve the
puzzles of the past.

Date: Friday, 23rd of August
Time: 3- 4:30pm
Location: Kevin Lee Room
Quadrangle
The University of Sydney
