Abstract

This session aims to build on two additional paper sessions set up by the newly established network for Digital History and New Directions in Crusade Studies, of which Roche and Hodgson are founder members. It will incorporate representatives from established digital projects including the Database of Crusaders to the Holy Land and the Revised Regesta Regni Hierosolymitani, which is undergoing significant development through the forthcoming year. However, it also seeks to identify and showcase new, needs-based approaches for digital tools in relation to crusader studies and explore future possibilities for potential to advance research in this area.

Participants include José Andres Porras (University of Oxford), Myra Miranda Bom (University of London / University of Cambridge), Anna Gutgarts (Hebrew University of Jerusalem), and Alan V. Murray (University of Leeds).
