Practical Paleography is an informal series of paleography sessions meeting every two weeks from November 2014 through March 2015; the sessions are sponsored by [[Early Modern Manuscripts Online]] (EMMO) for the staff and readers of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Each session will focus on transcription and mark-up (i.e., XML encoding) of a few 16th and/or 17th century manuscript pages from the Folger collection – announcements with more specifics about which manuscript(s) will appear a week before the session. We are particularly eager to work on manuscripts suggested by participants. If you have a manuscript page or two that you’d like to have multiple eyes on, please contact Heather Wolfe (hwolfe@folger.edu) in advance of the session(s) you’d like to attend. | Practical Paleography is an informal series of paleography sessions meeting every two weeks from November 2014 through March 2015; the sessions are sponsored by [[Early Modern Manuscripts Online]] (EMMO) for the staff and readers of the Folger Shakespeare Library.
