Since 2017, the Global Medieval Sourcebook has served as a venue for disseminating English translations of medieval-era texts from around the world. The last six years of the project’s development, culminating in the spring 2026 release of a new static site with 100 texts, offers several lessons for scholars looking to undertake a similar project in the current funding and institutional context for the humanities. Our talk will reflect on these lessons with an eye towards their applicability to other projects that preserve and distribute texts in the context of limited funding and infrastructure.
