Talk: “The Alternate Medieval Medium: Experiencing Medieval Manuscripts through Digital Technologies”
Panel:”The Material Object in Digital Culture”

Heather recently graduated from Queens College, CUNY, with her MLS and dual certificate in Archives, Records Management, and Preservation. She also holds a Bachelor’s degree from NYU and a Master of Letters degree from the University of Glasgow, both in Medieval Studies.

Heather is involved in professional library associations, has several publications in progress, and has been invited to speak at several conferences, the most recent invitation being from the University of Cambridge to speak at the Cambridge International Chronicle Symposium this summer. She has gained archival experience working as an Archival Assistant in the Special Collections Department of Queens College, CUNY, and as a Junior Fellow in the Manuscripts Division of the Library of Congress. Her independent research has brought her to such institutions as the University of Cambridge, Yale, and the Free Library of Philadelphia, to work with medieval manuscripts. Her research interests lie in digitization processes and projects; anything to do with medieval manuscripts; and historiography, literature, and social history of twelfth and thirteenth century Britain.
