The Early Modern London Theatre's (EMLoT) project came to a successful completion on the 1st of February with its public launch at the Globe Theatre. The 3 year project, which enjoyed funding from both the AHRC and Canada's SSHRC funding council, was a highly collaborative effort involving CCH's John Bradley, Michele Pasin and Timothy Hill and others, with members of staff at the University of Southampton and with members of the Records of Early English Drama project at the University of Toronto. It tackled the challenges of formally representing the transmission of ideas first recorded in primary sources from London's Early Modern period (roughly the time of Shakespeare) through to the present day in secondary literature. A Learning Zone supports the online resource by presenting in a graphical form a tutorial that explores the issues of transmission that were central to EMLoT's data.
Further information about EMLoT can be found in KCL's news item about EmLOT, or by visiting the site itself.
 

The Digital Resource for Palaeography project based at CCH is now well underway, with the appointment of a project Research Associate and applications open for a PhD Studentship. The project is funded by a prestigious Starting Grant from the European Research Council as part of the EU’s 7th Research Framework Programme (FP7). It will bring new methods in Digital Humanities to the study of medieval handwriting, including a new online resource which will allow scholars, students and the broader public to manipulate, view and interpret images and information about the material as never before.

For further information about the project please see the article in the King's news section. Details of the PhD studentship are available here.
