What’s new at the CEMVC

Welcome back to another week at the CEMVC! With the end of summer fast approaching, we wanted to take a moment to discuss three exciting and important topics: 1) new collections, 2) the importance of quality control, and 3) social media.

New collections

Enjoying our current collections? At the moment, by going to the collections tab, you can explore the images, PDFs, and introductory summaries for Cantar del mio Cid, Don Quijote, Gulliver’s Travels, La Celestina and Ovid’s Metamorphoses! You can also explore editions featuring Early Modern Women, European Illustrations of indigenous Peoples of the Americas, and Latin American Chronicles. Needless to say, our team has been working hard at uploading as many collections as possible both to our website and to the CAIRN database!

As we have mentioned in previous weeks, we are also working on gathering and uploading other collections, including finalizing the Coat of Arms collection - which will be organized both by region and by theme - as well as the Aesop’s Fables collection. We are so excited to share these collections with you!

The importance of quality control

At the CEMVC, we believe in the importance of quality control. For this reason, one of our researchers’ main tasks is the revision of published collections to ensure accuracy. This task is incredibly important as it ensures consistency within the editions and collections. It also enables us to verify that the information published is indeed correct. For example, one element that we emphasize is ensuring that the correct image is placed in the correct edition folder. Thankfully, our team is very skilled at keeping the collections regulated and at their prime!

Social media
