Description

In September 2012, the Institute for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) awarded the Hill Museum & Manuscript Library a two-year grant to develop vHMML (or "virtual HMML"), an online suite of tools to support the study and research of manuscripts through paleography and codicology. This session will present the various modules of the vHMML environment, including tutorials, a glossary of terms, digitized book collections, manuscript sample galleries, and an online workspace for manuscript studies. Topics will include a project overview and demonstration, as well as the possibilities for classroom use and existing tutorials on Latin paleography and codicology.
