When: 19th July-1st August 2015
Description:
The Andrew W. Mellon-funded York’s Archbishops’ Registers Revealed project seeks to digitise and make available online the Archbishops’ Registers for the Diocese of York for the period. As part of the project, we will hold a residential Summer Institute designed to equip and inspire a new generation of scholars able to engage with these vital records.
By the end of the Institute, you will have received:
- Training in palaeography and ecclesiastical diplomatic (at a level appropriate to your existing skills) based on original medieval and early modern sources held at the Borthwick Institute for Archives;
- Training in the content, structure and material history of the York Archbishops’ Registers that is readily transferable to the study of other ecclesiastical records;
- A chance to develop personal research projects related to the York Archbishops’ Registers;
- A certificate of completion for your participation in this prestigious programme.
Full funding for travel, teaching and accommodation will be provided for:
- Five postgraduate students registered at universities and institutions of higher education in the UK;
- Five postgraduate students registered at universities and institutions of higher education in the USA.
You will need:
- To be a registered postgraduate student at a UK or US university or institution of higher education;
- Some demonstrable experience (validated by your academic referee) of medieval or early modern palaeography.
Preference may be given to those with some existing knowledge of medieval Latin (whose experience should again be validated by the academic referee), but this is not formal requirement.
Individuals not currently enrolled for a postgraduate degree but intending to make future application for a UK or US university or institution of higher education may make application to The Summer Institute, but must clearly state (and ask their academic referee to validate) their intentions with regard to future formal study.
How to apply:
- Fill in the application form and statement via http://www.york.ac.uk/borthwick/projects/archbishops-registers/
- Please send a supporting academic reference to brannan@york.ac.uk
- Closing date: Midnight (GMT), 19 March 2015
