Research Group on Manuscript Evidence

The Research Group on Manuscript Evidence (RGME) exists to apply an integrated, comprehensive approach to manuscripts and texts in other forms through the ages.  Our work began on medieval Western European manuscripts and early modern printed books in specific collections, but, over the years, our research work and our mission have expanded to embrace a wider body of written (and other) sources, from the Antique world to the present.

We invite you to join our mission and to contribute to our activities, with funding, expertise, services, supplies, and other resources, as you like.  

Our unusual approach is grounded on volunteer contributions to run the organization, approach the fund-raising, and organize the activities and research projects.  This vision means that donations of funding principally sponsor the activities and projects. You can see the results!

We ask your support to maintain and to expand our innovative educational organization. Our reach includes not only established academic spheres, but also other realms of experience.  They include “Independent Scholars”, mothers or fathers returning to work or to research as the children grow, and others in the wider world.
