Proposals are welcomed from scholars, including students, and professionals in any field.
The Conference and School is co-organised by the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) Department of Information Studies, VESTIGIA, the Manuscript Research Centre of Graz University, International Centre for Archival Research (ICARUS), Croatian State Arhive and Scientific Centre of Excellence for Croatian Glagolitism.
