The collaborators on GEMMS: Gateway to Early Modern Manuscript Sermons are delighted to announce the launch of GEMMS 2.0 (https://gemms.usask.ca)!
Our new interface has enhanced GEMMS’s search capabilities, enabling more comprehensive searches, allowing users to search new fields, and making it easier to refine their searches. GEMMS 2.0 also allows contributors to add their own data to GEMMS.
