If you even casually care about England, France, the European Union, Art History or Medieval Studies, you probably know the Bayeux Tapestry is having a bit of a moment right now. From 1994 to 2003, Martin Foys imagined, developed and refined a pioneering digital edition of this extraordinary eleventh-century woven account of 1066 and the Battle of Hastings. It was published on CD-ROM. Join us for this illuminating talk, where Martin will share many of the surprising things he discovered about this famous work, as well as reflect on what it was like to make digital scholarship before digital scholarship was even really a thing you did.
