First Annual Primary Source Symposium, Registration, Welcome, and Dinner

With the increasing availability of editions, images, online materials, simulacra, facsimiles, and immersive experiences what, in today’s academy, constitutes a primary source? The Stanford Primary Source Symposium, hosted by the Center for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, welcomes leading international scholars in the fields of Arts and Humanities. The Symposium will focus on all textual media—from facsimiles of manuscripts to art, history, and music—and all forms of critical analysis—from the study of forgery, to aspects of digital appropriation, to philological evaluation—to determine how we understand and respond to the Primary Source.
