It’s always a bittersweet day when team members move on. On the one hand, MoEML’s training mandate is designed to give students and research affiliates skills they can take to new projects and new challenges in and beyond academia. On the other hand, we miss their friendship and their unique contributions to the MoEML team.
This past summer, we congratulated Kim McLean-Fiander, who has taken up a post in the Department of English at UVic as an Assistant Teaching Professor. Kim joined us in February 2013 as an Early Career Researcher and quickly became Assistant Project Director and then, in January 2015, Associate Project Director. Kim led the charge on our site redesign in 2013, researched and oversaw the editorial emendations to the Agas Map in 2014, and played a key role in our Pedagogical Partnership Project. She’s also been the principal voice you’ve been hearing in our social media posts. She’s made MoEML better in countless ways. In this case, the sadness of saying good-bye is entirely mitigated by the fact that her new office is just down the hall from the MoEML office. Kim has generously agreed to remain on the team as our Director of Pedagogy and Outreach; in this new role, she’ll continue to oversee the Pedagogical Partnership Project and contribute to our social media presence.
Katie Tanigawa has stepped into the breach and taken up the role of Project Manager and Managing Editor. Katie is a fourth-year PhD candidate in the Department of English at UVic. Her research interests include modernism and mapping. She and Alex Christie developed the Z-Axis Project, a very cool tool for warping maps to show the density of literary references. She’s also an experienced encoder who knows her way around the TEI Guidelines. Welcome, Katie T.!
After completing her BA in April, Catriona Duncan took a well earned trip to Europe. She returned to UVic this month as an MA student. We’re glad to have her back for the final stages of encoding the 1598 edition of Stow’s Survey of London and the first stages of encoding the 1633 edition in preparation for versioning the four editions (1598, 1603, 1618, and 1633).
DH student Katie McKenna also returns to help us with the ongoing work of capturing geospatial coordinates for our Placeography entries. In addition, we’ll keep her busy with the next mayoral pageant books in the transcription queue.
With characteristic modesty, Martin Holmes positions himself outside the frame.

Joey Takeda, now entering the final year of his Honours degree, and recent graduate Tye Landels continue to rebuild, rethink, and improve every corner of the site. Tye has recently rewritten the handling for our Personography entries and created a very useful index to our Praxis documentation. In his new role as Junior Programmer, Joey has developed new ways of linking related documents and fixed legacy code throughout the site. Joey and Tye are now working together to implement three new calendars to accommodate the many ways that early modern writers indicated the date in their texts.
Martin Holmes as Lead Programmer and Greg Newton as Mapping Expert round out the MoEML team for 2015-2016.
