Medieval People
Medieval Institute Publications publishes Medieval People: Social Bonds, Kinship, and Networks (ISSN 2690-8182; eISSN 2690-8190), formerly published under the title Medieval Prosopography: History and Collective Biography (ISSN 0198-9405; eISSN 2381-8700).
Medieval People builds upon what its precursor, Medieval Prosopography, sought to do: it is dedicated to highlighting the experiences of unknown or obscure individuals or groups, as well as exploring the social networks that gave shape to the lives of all medieval people. The journal has been updated, however, to reflect the new trends in scholarship and the ever-growing number of tools available to scholars, as well as the rich offerings of digital humanities projects that can assist scholars in developing a deeper and more inclusive understanding of the medieval world. Therefore volume 35 of Medieval Prosopography was the last volume available in print, while volume 36 (2022), was the first volume under the title Medieval People and the first online-only volume of the journal (articles can be printed by subscribers).
