Please join us for a Digitial Humanities Workshop — Writing the Rose … Reading Digitally, focused on learning how to use FromThePage, a new software program that JHU has recently acquired (see here: https://fromthepage.com/landing). FromThePage is a fantastic tool for organizing, transcribing, and translating archival and documentary sources all in one place. It is a tool that will be of use to scholars in all fields who work with manuscripts, hand-written texts, and early printed materials.

The workshop will be led by Dr. Laura Morreale, a world-renowned expert in DH technologies and humanities work, who has convened and led numerous transcription challenges and workshops. Dr. Morreale is joined by Prof. Stephen Nichols (Emeritus, French and Italian, JHU) who founded the Digital Library for Medieval Manuscripts at Hopkins and spearheaded one of the first major DH projects that brought together all the known manuscripts of the Roman de la Rose (see here: https://dlmm.library.jhu.edu/en/digital-library-of-medieval-manuscripts/)

This in-person Workshop event will kick off a three-day, asynchronous collaborative transcription of selected Hopkins-based texts using the program FromThePage. We conclude with a final online reveal, on Saturday, November 11 at noon.
