You can find out more and apply here: http://royalsociety.org.nz/join-and-support/members/individual-membership/#professional-member-early-career-researcher-ecr

ECR membership is a new category of RSNZ membership. In addition to the benefits of all individual members, ECR members will also belong to the RSNZ ECR Forum, a section of the Royal Society dedicated to engaging ECRs across all disciplines and fostering a collaborative, communicative, and respected community. ECR members can participate in all ECR events that RSNZ runs throughout the country. These events are targeted to the needs of ECRs, including communication, mentoring, networking skills, and career building. There will also be an emphasis on fostering relations between ECRs and Constituent Organisations, such as The New Zealand Historical Association (NZHA).

The IMLS-funded Early Modern Manuscripts Online (EMMO) project at the Folger is thrilled to announce the beta launch of our free, searchable repository of manuscript images, metadata, and transcriptions.

Early Modern Manuscripts Online (EMMO) is a project of the Folger Shakespeare Library, funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), to provide scholars and the general public with convenient web access to transcriptions, images, and metadata for manuscripts from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

EMMO provides high-quality images and consistent transcriptions for a variety of manuscripts, such as letters, diaries, wills, coats of arms, literary pieces, recipe books, miscellanies, and more. Making the rich content of these manuscripts available online enhances research capabilities in many disciplines by adding important sources for scholars to examine and also promotes the learning of paleography (the study of pre-modern handwriting methods).

For more information, and to access EMMO, please visit: http://emmo.folger.edu.

Digital images of medieval manuscripts held in Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Libraries are now available online.

Full images of 11 of the medieval manuscripts held in Sir George Grey Special Collections, Auckland Libraries are now available online through the manuscripts catalogue Manuscripts Online: http://www.aucklandcity.govt.nz/dbtw-wpd/msonline and search using the term “Med. Ms*”

The search results in a list of all the medieval manuscripts including the ones with images. Images can be viewed page by page or as a PDF.

There are extra images of details of some manuscripts – these are available as part of the PDFs.

A further 11 medieval manuscripts have been digitised — these images will be gradually added to the catalogue over the coming months. Of the remaining manuscripts here, more will be digitised over the next few years, but a few are too tightly bound and cannot be digitised with current technology.

For further information, please contact specialcollections@aucklandcouncil.govt.nz.
