Medieval History
Medieval studies experts want to use technology to make it easier to study the past.
Ironically, medieval studies scholars were among the first to use modern technology in their research. Rev. Roberto Busa used punchcards back in 1949 for his research on St. Thomas Aquinas. To date, scholars have created more than 100 electronic resources for medieval research. The problem is, the archives aren?t connected.
That?s something Tim Stinson, a humanities scholar at NC State, and Dot Porter, a librarian at Indiana University, want to change. They?re working with a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to explore creation of a federation of electronic medieval studies projects.
