This Spring, Medieval Academy's Committee on Electronic Resources and Committee on Centers and Regional Associations will survey CARA members to determine the extent of their institutions medieval technological resources. The survey will collect data on the current state of integrating computing research methodology into Medieval Studies curriculum and research by identifying partnerships between members, computing centers, digital scholarship, and schools of information science.
One goal of the CER/CARA survey is to produce a directory of computing medieval studies centers for faculty and prospective graduate students. The survey will identify courses, summer institutes, workshops, etc. that support a curriculum in Medieval Studies computing. A critical snapshot of the present state of an emerging computing medievalist field will also be derived from the analysis.
