Script is everywhere! And it speaks of our history …
This year’s Palaeography course (March-May 2015) for the Master Degree students in “Organization and Administration of the Cultural and Environmental Heritage” will provide an overview on the evolution of Latin Script and show it as a tangible part of our cultural heritage waiting to be discovered, understood, protected and valued. Moreover the lectures will trace a path from traditional to new digital methodologies by using the digital archives available on the international platform Monasterium.Net and by actively engaging the students by employing Monasterium’s tool MOM-Ca.
The course is organized in the context of ENArC – European Network on Archival Cooperation (EU Culture Programme 2007-2013) and co:op – Community as Opportunity. The creative Archives’ and Users’ network (Creative Europe. Support Programme for Europe’s Cultural and Creative Sectors from 2014).
