The Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies is offering a unique internship opportunity for students interested in archival research, historical records, and digital humanities. We invite expressions of interest from currently enrolled doctoral students whose academic background and interests align with ANZAMEMS’ mission and this specific project.
For further details about the project, see the flyer below.
Please note that due to unforeseen circumstance, the ANZAMEMS reading group scheduled for 27 May 2025 has been cancelled. Please see the updated schedule below. The group will reconvene on Tuesday 24 June 2025.
Since 1989, METS has expanded the boundaries of our understanding of medieval literary traditions and cultures through its ever-growing collection of open access and affordable texts. The new website and digital reader, launched in November 2024, has enhanced long-standing goals to support groundbreaking scholarship, ensure access, and enable teaching and learning.
This work has been enabled through the generous support of the National Endowment for the Humanities, whose grants were the source of funding for METS staff salaries. However, METS has experience a recent and sudden funding loss due to NEH grant terminations and, as such, its work is in jeopardy.
METS is now seeking donations to support their continued work. If every person who used its website site donated just $10, METS would be well on its way to being fully self-supported. Every dollar will go directly toward staff salaries, and will help METS ensure that these texts remain accessible to readers around the world.
