Digital Medievalist

[1] Digital Medievalist was established in 2003 as an international collaborative non-profit project based at University of Lethbridge in Canada, though it has executive board members from a number of other countries.

Digital Medievalist as an organization is overseen by the volunteer efforts of a fully elected international executive board.

[3] Eligibility for election to the executive board is simply demonstrable participation in digital medieval activities or board-sanctioned equivalencies.

These activities include an electronic mailing list, the participation in and organisation of conference sessions or other events, and a website containing an open-access academic journal of record, a wiki/FAQ, and a facility to post news releases.

In addition to experimenting with different models of publication, the project has taken an innovative stance on the problems of academic acceptance of research articles published online.

In 2021, they also organized three virtual conferences, each aligned with a different geographic space and time zone, grouped as The Americas, Asia & Oceania, and Europe & Africa.
