After five weeks of work, the 2026 Summer Institute in Papyrology has concluded. Feeling very grateful to the hardworking students, instructors, and especially our funders, especially the American Society of Papyrologists and @sshrc-crsh.canada.ca.

12 participants seated around a large rectangle of tables with laptops open, with a large screen projecting an image of an inscribed ostracon on the far wall.

Just over 24 hrs until the Summer Institute in Papyrology begins in @umanitoba.bsky.social’s Dafoe Library. The participants and 3+ dozen @umichlibrary.bsky.social papyri have arrived in Winnipeg for 5 weeks of research sponsored by the American Society of Papyrologists and @sshrc-crsh.canada.ca.

Found this on my office door today and am vacillating between 😬, 😳, 🤯, and hopefully not 😵. Were it not for the Summer Institute in Papyrology, I think I might be working from home for a little while.

Photo of Mike Sampson’s office door in 366 University College, affixed with department name, name bar (including in Linear B), construction-paper artwork of à penguin with ‘Sasha’ label, a “Support U(niversity of) M(anitoba) F(acuity) A(ssociation)” sticker, and a large, imposing DANGER: ASBESTOS sign in both English and French.

Just back from a viewing with the Summer Institute in Papyrology participants, and feeling that justice was served on this front. Will need to reflect on a few other aspects of Nolan's vision, though.

I’m late to the party on the latest Odyssey trailer but appreciated the split-second glimpses of Argos in both puppy and geriatric phases of life — if Nolan achieves half the emotion of that moment I’ll be happy

The papyri have arrived! Just over one month until the American Society of Papyrologists’ Summer Institute in Papyrology begins in the Dafoe Library @umanitoba.bsky.social

11 foam-wrapped archival boxes containing glazed papyrus fragments on a pair of library carts.

I learned gobs from Elisa and David at DHSI, and continue to apply those lessons on a regular basis wrangling XML for papyri.info. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Making sure you're not a bot!
