Quill Project Launch Conference
PAST EVENT | 14 October 2016 08:30 - 14 October 2016 18:15
The Quill Project is a new digital platform developed by Oxford University collaborators, which will be launched at a one-day conference at Pembroke College on Friday 14 October.
The conference is free but registration closes on Wednesday 5th October. Click here to sign up.
The project is a collaboration between Pembroke Senior Research Fellow Dr Nicholas Cole (Faculty of History), Dr James Cummings (IT Services), and the Centre's Research Associate Dr Alfie Abdul-Rahman.
The Quill Project is designed to transform the study and teaching of the history of the 1787 Constitutional Convention and subsequent, negotiated, legal texts. It will transform access to the founding documents of American constitutional law, by making them available to a wider audience newly accurate and useful versions of the records of the Constitution's creation. It will establish a software platform, Quill, which will promote a new approach to the study of foundational, negotiated, legal texts.

At one-day conference, three panels will discuss the historical problems presented by the records of the Federal Convention, which were most recently the subject of Mary Bilder's controversial book, Madison's Hand. More broadly, the conference and launch will be an opportunity to discuss recent scholarship on the Founding.
