Dear Digital Medievalist subscribers,

Digital Medievalist will be holding elections at the end of June 2016 for four positions to its Executive Board. Board positions are for two year terms, and incumbents may be re-elected (for a maximum of three terms in a row). Members of the Board are responsible for the overall direction of the organisation and leading the Digital Medievalist’s many projects and programmes. This is a working board, and so it would be expected that you are willing and able to commit time to helping Digital Medievalist undertake some of its activities, like editing the journal, organising conference sessions, administering the website, the Facebook group and news feeds, or maintaining a technical infrastructure – and there is room for any initiative you would like to take to foster the communication on digital methods in medieval studies.

For further information about the Executive and Digital Medievalist more generally please see the Digital Medievalist website, particularly:

We are now seeking nominations (including self-nominations) for the annual elections.
