THE ART OF READING IN THE MIDDLE AGES
Welcome to the ARMA PROJECT.
The project ‘The Art of Reading in the Middle Ages’ will show the importance of medieval reading culture as a European movement by bringing together (digitised) manuscripts produced between c. 500 and c. 1550 from across Europe, unlocking their educational potential by curational and editorial enrichment, using innovative ways for displaying and handling digital objects in an educational context.

Milestone 06: Engagement Plan
Engagement plan is describing how the ARMA consortium will achieve audience development based on the use of collection presentations and datasets, social media, blogs, galleries and a curated online exhibition. The plan also outlines which partners we will be involved and how the material will be incorporated into relevant education platforms.
Milestone 04: Selection of Outstanding objects
This document is the result of Activity 3, Engagement. Activity 3 runs from March 31 2021 to February 28 2022. Every data providing partner has identified relevant objects from their own collections or already available in Europeana and indicated how they relate to the theme of the Art of Reading in the Middle Ages, using a standardized list of topics and keywords. These objects will form parts of editorial outputs aimed at delivering a strong user experience.
Milestone 1 of the ARMA Project completed
The coming year c. 20,000 medieval manuscripts, incunabula and related object from the collections will be brought together during the ARMA project. Last week we finished our first milestone.
