New Resource: Archivision
June 18th, 2009 by Daniel GoldsteinRESOURCE: The Labyrinth: Resources for Medieval Studies
May 30th, 2009 by Roberto C. Delgadillo
The Labyrinth: Resources for Medieval Studies provides free, organized access to electronic resources in medieval studies through a World Wide Web server at Georgetown University. The Labyrinth’s easy-to-use menus and links provide connections to databases, services, texts, and images on other servers around the world. This project not only provides an organizational structure for electronic resources in medieval studies, but also serves as a model for similar, collaborative projects in other fields of study. The Labyrinth project is open-ended and is designed to grow and change with new developments in technology and in medieval studies.

RESOURCE: The Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts
May 30th, 2009 by Roberto C. Delgadillo
The Catalogue of Digitized Medieval Manuscripts offers a simple and straightforward means to discover medieval manuscripts available on the web. The database provides links to a growing number of manuscripts. Basic information about the manuscripts is fully searchable, and users can also browse through the complete contents of the database. As the project develops, a richer body of information for each manuscript, and the texts in these codices, will be provided, where available.
The Catalogue first began to take form in Christopher Baswell’s talk at the MLA conference in December, 2005. Generous support by the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CMRS) at the University of California, Los Angeles, has enabled Professors Matthew Fisher and Christopher Baswell to develop this site, and make it publicly available in its current form through the CMRS web site. An additional grant from the UCHRI (University of California Humanities Research Institute) made possible additional data entry, and substantive refinements to the back-end technologies in place.
RESOURCE: Tudor Effigies: The Costume Research Image Library
May 29th, 2009 by Roberto C. Delgadillo
In an effort to chronicle the garments worn by men and women (especially those of the middle classes) during the 16th century, Dr. Jane Malcolm-Davies at the Textile Conservation Centre at Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton has undertaken the task of photographing and analyzing effigies. The result is a wonderful database of images offering detailed information on Tudor dress. The effigy images are in chronological order from 1510 to 1604. Detailed information for each image includes the name of the deceased, a description of the monument and clothing depicted, and the geographical location of the effigy. More than 150 different effigies are represented.
