What’s new in #DH Iceland? Our January spotlight is out! ✨
This month, we highlight our coordinated project Nordic Historical Population Data (NordHistPop), recently funded by NordForsk. We also mark the second year of the @antidote-network.bsky.social training programme.

I’ll admit I was slightly worried that being the Nordic representative might feel a bit cringe, but shouting “Good evening Klosterneuburg, this is Iceland calling!” turned out to be fun, actually.
It will take a little while before everything is ready for release, but this is going to be great.
Behind the scenes at ANTIDOTE 🎬
Between our workshops, we’ve been filming new dissemination materials for our research outputs, including professional videos with a Eurovision-style twist ✨
We’re excited to share what’s coming next soon!

Some impressions from our 2nd-year beginners' training at Klosterneuburg Abbey Library 📜💻
Five intensive days working through the foundations of encoding medieval texts in TEI-XML are behind us, with focused lectures, hands-on workshops, and thoughtful discussion around editorial practice.
Great to be back for year two of @antidote-network.bsky.social. Tomorrow, I’ll be giving a short 🎆lecture on XML visualization with a little hands-on surprise.
Looking forward to it!

CfP for IMC Leeds, 6-9 July 2026 The Endless Scroll: Digital Approaches to Medieval Time Sponsor: Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts, Iceland Submission deadline: 1 September 2025 The Icelandic Centre for Digital Humanities and Arts invites contributions that explore how digital methods and tools can illuminate, represent, and reinterpret medieval temporalities. While we particularly welcome research with a focus on the Northern World, this call is open to comparative or globally situated projects across disciplines, periods, and geographies that approach time as both a subject of inquiry and a structuring principle. Possible topics may include (but are not limited to): Visualising medieval perceptions or structures of time Tools and technologies for measuring, representing, or distorting medieval time Digital editions of computus texts Digital reconstruction of objects or texts, lost or transformed over time Manuscript temporality (e.g. mise-en-page, palimpsests, gloss traditions, marginalia) using computational approaches Modelling temporal rhythms in liturgy, agriculture, politics, or narratives Analysis of long-term temporalities in environmental, climatic, or landscape data Artificial intelligence and the automation of temporal interpretation Temporal modelling in metadata, databases, markup languages, and DH infrastructures Interface design and user experience in projects that convey or manipulate medieval temporalities Re-mediating or reimagining medieval time in games or immersive digital environments Temporal poetics and the aesthetics of time in digital medievalism Please submit an abstract of around 200 words, a short bio including affiliation and contact information, and indicate your preferred mode of participation (in-person or virtual). Proposals and queries should be sent to Katrín Lísa L. Mikaelsdóttir (kll@hi.is) no later than 1 September 2025.

Did you know about our two public @transkribus.bsky.social models for Icelandic historical handwriting? 📝🇮🇸
Both were trained by Emil Gunnlaugsson, supported by MSHL/CDHA, with source material from the National Archives of Iceland and the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies 👇
What a ride it’s been. Organising the @antidote-network.bsky.social event took blood, sweat, tears, laughter, and love, and it’s been such a memorable experience to see it all come together successfully!
Grateful for everyone who made it happen. I'm already looking forward to next year 💙
That’s a wrap on the Joint Training Week in Reykjavík, and with it, the first year of #ANTIDOTE! All six Working Groups presented their impressive final projects.
Thank you to everyone who made this week inspiring, productive, and unforgettable.
Takk fyrir okkur!

Our trip to Þingvellir National Park offered a breathtaking encounter with history and landscape, standing at the site of the world’s oldest parliament amid stunning Icelandic scenery.
A memorable moment of reflection during a packed week!
