[DCRM-L] Reminder: The Care and Keeping of Medieval Documents (ICMS Kalamazoo, 2025)

[Allison Marie McCormack]

The International Society for Medievalist Librarians is soliciting speakers for their hybrid panel "The Care and Keeping of Medieval Documents," to be held at next year's International Congress on Medieval Studies in Kalamazoo, Michigan (May 8-10, 2025). Participants may choose to present either virtually or in-person at the conference. The overall goal of this panel is to showcase the lifecycle of medieval documents in institutional collections.

Session description: "Cultural heritage professionals at libraries, museums, and other institutions play an active role in ensuring that medieval documents are accessible for researchers and other patrons, but many of these processes remain obscured. People working with medieval manuscripts, incunabula, fragments, and similar items at cultural heritage institutions are invited to shed a light on their behind-the-scenes work. The organizers solicit papers exploring ethical acquisition, metadata issues, conservation concerns, and other topics for this multidisciplinary panel. Case studies highlighting collaborative efforts to research and care for documents are especially encouraged."

Proposals are due on September 15th and may be submitted directly through the conference website: https://icms.confex.com/icms/2025/paper/papers/index.cgi?sessionid=6015. Please send any questions to the session organizer, Allie McCormack (allie.mccormack at utah.edu<mailto:allie.mccormack at utah.edu>).
