Bibliographical Society of America Webinar
The AOR team was delighted to be invited to take part in a “webinar” arranged by The Bibliographical Society of America in March 2020. This 56-minute webinar provides an introduction to AOR intended for anyone – experts and non-experts – wishing to learn how it can be customized for on-line teaching and directed research at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
For more information for on-line instruction and directed research exercise ideas for students, including sample exercises with direct links to AOR, you can visit the “Teaching from AOR” section of the AOR website.
AOR London Symposium
To cap off the second phase of AOR, a symposium on Gabriel Harvey and John Dee was held at the University of London’s Senate House on 25 January 2019. The speakers included current and former archaeologists, as well as historians of reading from a number of US and UK institutions. You can learn more about it on our blog, or you can click here to view the materials and talks given at the symposium.

Documents
In order to successfully manage a large multi-team, multi-site research project, we have often had to adopt a “corporate” approach to methodology: working practices have been standardised and made explicit in a step-by-step handbook. This Transcriber’s Manual is the “bible” for the project, combining a guide to the researcher’s workflow, documentation of our XML schema, and a relation of the many decisions we have had to make along the way.
