The Florida MedievaList is an organization of medievalists designed to promote teaching, research, and public programs on the Middle Ages in the state of Florida. We include faculty members, graduate students, librarians, and museum professionals, and we welcome anyone with a professional interest in the Middle Ages. We have a listserv and plan to hold meetings every fall and spring. Other initiatives include sponsoring sessions at national conferences, strengthening library resources in Medieval Studies, and expanding course offerings in Medieval Studies throughout the state.
