History

 

The XML Sum­mer School star­ted in 2000, foun­ded by Dr John Chel­som with col­leagues from CSW. Del­eg­ates stayed at St Edmund Hall, and lec­tures were held at the Ran­dolph Hotel as Teddy Hall didn’t have appro­pri­ate facil­it­ies. In sub­sequent years, the XML Sum­mer School took place at St Anne’s Col­lege, and then Wadham Col­lege. There was a break in 2008 and we star­ted again in 2009, back at Teddy Hall.

John Chel­som, Bob DuCh­arme, Peter Flynn, and Lauren Wood taught at the first Sum­mer School, and are still teaching.

Unfor­tu­nately much of the early his­tory of the Sum­mer School has been lost, but we still have the archives of the most recent years.
