[MR] Baronial Scroll Backlog Project

[Mara]

To the Populace of Windmasters' Hill

The Windmasters' Hill Scriptorium is proud to take on the challenge of
lessening the Baronial backlog of award scrolls. In order to do so we need
your assistance. Posted on this webpage
(http://viviano.net/mara/SCA/WHbacklog.html) is a spreadsheet of Baronial
Awards for the past few years. The spreadsheet is incomplete and there may
be inaccuracies in name spelling or specific awards. Please take a moment to
review the backlog for your own awards and confirm the following
information:

a)	The spelling of your name
b)	The award and any specific reasons for it's presentation (esp. for a
BAE)
c)	The date and event where the award was presented
d)	If you received an original scroll for that award (not a promissory)

e)	If you do or do not want a scroll for the award.

Keep in mind that you may be entitled to a number of original scrolls. In
order to fairly allocate our limited resources of Scribes and time, please
indicate the order of priority of your awards so we put the effort into
creating the award with the most meaning for you.

Please indicate if you have never received an original scroll as these will
be the first assignments of the Scriptorium. 

When a scroll assignment is accepted the scribe may contact you concerning
your persona and any particular ideas you may have. Keep in mind that the
Scriptorium represents Scribes of varying experience but all assignments
will be accepted with a commitment to excellence and a desire to please.

A note on Kingdom level awards:
Be aware that this is a Baronial backlog project as the process for handling
Kingdom level awards very different. There is a huge backlog of Kingdom
scrolls. If you have a particular desire to have a Kingdom level scroll
done, your best option would be to speak directly to a scribe whose work you
admire and commission the work. The scribe may then request the assignment
from the Clerk Signet.

A note on the Windmasters' Hill Scriptorium:
The Scriptorium is a Guild that is open to anyone interested in the scribal
arts; learning, teaching or going. We have many members who have an interest
or skill in one area (calligraphy, design, illumination or copy writing) and
have had great success collaborating with Scribes of different skills. At
our most recent Court we have scrolls produced by as many as three different
scribes with creative input by even more. You are welcome to join us to
learn more about the scribal arts and not take a scroll assignment until you
are ready. 

Future Scriptorium Dates:

May 21	Scriptorium will be held in conjunction with the Glassworkers Guild
at 			Lady Sveva's in North Durham.
June 11	Scriptorium just prior to Midsummer's Night Twilight Tourney to be
held 			at Lady Sibohan's
July 16		Scriptorium location to be determined. Scrolls will be
produced for 			Pennsic.

Informal Scriptoriums:
All guild members are encouraged to promote the scribal arts. If you plan to
be home and working on your scrolls and want to invite other members of the
populace to join you, please do so and send a note to the Keep.

Canton Meetings: 
There are members of the Scriptorium that would be happy to attend local
Canton meetings to discuss the activities of the Scriptorium or teach about
the scribal arts. If Canton MoAS would like to have one of the Scriptorium
attend a meeting, please contact Philippa or Tsuruko.

Yours in Service,

Lady Philippa Tillinghast		Tsuruko
