Training in Reflectance Transformation Imaging
ANNOUNCING A NEW TRAINING Program for Scholars, conservators and researchers in the
Use of Reflectance
Transformation imaging (RTI)
for Documenting ancient texts and artifacts
including the Loan of Imaging Equipment
The University of Southern California's West Semitic Research Project
(www.usc.edu/dept/LAS/wsrp) has received grants from the Institute for
Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
to establish a Training Program in advanced imaging technologies for
the documentation of ancient texts and artifacts with an initial
emphasis on Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI). The IMLS and
the Mellon Foundation have also funded the purchase of imaging
equipment to support the Training Program.
The objective of this project is to develop an infrastructure for
training scholars in the use of RTI technology and subsequently to
lend the necessary imaging equipment to participants in the training
program so they can do an initial RTI documentation project either in
field environments (archaeological sites, etc.) or in libraries,
museums and/or other similar venues, worldwide. This initial
undertaking should
be understood to be a pilot project that can develop into an ongoing,
broader documentary effort and preferably may also serve as the
catalyst
for establishing a consortial network for image documentation of a
given corpus (or corpora) of ancient texts and/or artifacts. All
equipment to
be lent out is both rugged and compact and is thus ideal for doing
sophisticated imaging in remote locations.
Twenty-four awards over three years (approximately eight per year) for
traineeships will be provided based on the merit and intrinsic
importance of a proposed pilot imaging project as well as the
appropriateness of the subject matter for RTI imaging.
For more information, see

Fellowships for the HMML Manuscript Collection (Ethiopic Enoch, etc.)
1. The Swenson Family Fellowship in Eastern Christian Manuscript
Studies provides grants of $2500-5000 to junior scholars (graduate

awarded their doctorate) who need to consult HMML's Eastern Christian
manuscript collections for their research. Awards will be made twice
annually, with deadlines for applications on April 15 and November 15.
Details can be found at: http://www.hmml.org/news10/Swenson.htm
2. The Nicky B. Carpenter Endowed Fellowship in Manuscript Studies
provides an annual award of $5000 to a senior scholar using any of
HMML's manuscript collections. The deadline for applications is April
15.
Details can be found at:
http://www.hmml.org/news10/Carpenter.htm.

Note that applications for the 2014 Dietrich Reinhart OSB Fellowship
in Eastern Christian Manuscript Studies will open in fall 2013, and an
announcement will be made here at that time.
Questions about these opportunities may be sent to:
hmmlfellowships@csbsju.edu.
3. The Hill Museum & Manuscript Library (HMML) [Saint John's University,
Collegeville, MN] announces grants available for cataloging work in
its eastern Christian collections in Arabic/Gar??n?, Armenian, Old
Church Slavonic, and Syriac. These grants are funded by the Andrew W.
Mellon Foundation.
Many of these collections are greatly understudied and catalogers thus
have prime opportunities for new and further research, as well as the
satisfaction of making a contribution to our knowledge of the
literature and of manuscript traditions.
The grants support full-time cataloging work for periods of one to six
months, and are renewable. The work may be done anywhere; residence at
HMML is not expected. Catalogers will be expected to prepare
text-level records for, ideally, 75 manuscripts per month (with these
numbers adjusted for genres with multiple texts per manuscript, such
as hagiography and homilies). A sample record may be viewed here. A
brief report summarizing completed work (numbers, notable finds, etc.)
will be sent twice a month to HMML's lead cataloger of eastern
Christian manuscripts, Adam McCollum. Completed records will be
submitted on a monthly basis.
The grants offer a stipend of $2500/month, with the added benefit of
copies of two digitized manuscripts from HMML’s collections each month
at no cost, which may be used for personal research. Those who wish to
apply for a cataloging grant may send their CV and a cover letter to
Adam McCollum (amccollum@csbsju.edu), to whom also any informal
enquiries may be sent off-list.
