Medieval Research Group - Cistercian Women's Houses Project

On Friday, October 10 at 3:00pm, join us in the Zhang Legacy Collections Center for a presentation on the process and progress on the Cistercian Women's Houses project. This presentation will be made by Halle Martin (PhD student, History), Benwin George (MS student, Computer Science) and Marianne Swierenga, Associate Professor and Cataloging and Metadata Librarian. This digital humanities project is making the notes of Leopold Janauschek (1827-1898) on Cistercian women's houses available using a semantic wiki model and data compiled by a large number of graduate students from his notes and other sources over the course of a decade.

Medieval Research Group is a joint initiative of the Medieval Institute and the Zhang Legacy Collections at Western Michigan University to create opportunities for students, faculty, staff, and alumni to carry out research, learn about university resources, share their work with others, and build community.
