The AAI launched the Digging Digital Museum Collections Project in
November 2020. The aim of the program is to better leverage digitized
museum collections and related digital resources for public engagement,
instruction, and lifelong learning. In addition, this program will
explore training and consulting services for partner institutions to
make better public engagement uses of their digitized collections and
data. The program is run by Dr. Pinar Durgun, who joined the AAI in November 2020
as Curator for Digital Collections Interpretation and Public
Engagement. This program will work in conjunction with both the Data
Literacy Program and the AAI’s sustainability work. This program is
supported by individual donations and by the AAI’s National Endowment for the Humanities Infrastructure and Capacity-Building Challenge Grant.

This is a peer-reviewed, inclusive, non-Eurocentric, multi-disciplinary
journal devoted to the study of temporal, spatial, economic, social, and

prehistory to the fall of the Eastern Roman Empire (15th century AD).

The AWOL Index: The bibliographic data presented herein has been programmatically extracted from the content of AWOL - The Ancient World Online (ISSN 2156-2253) and formatted in accordance with a structured data model.
AWOL is a project of Charles E. Jones, Tombros Librarian for Classics and Humanities at the Pattee Library, Penn State University
AWOL began with a series of entries under the heading AWOL on the Ancient World Bloggers Group Blog. I moved it to its own space here beginning in 2009.
The primary focus of the project is notice and comment on open access material relating to the ancient world, but I will also include other kinds of networked information as it comes available.
The ancient world is conceived here as it is at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World at New York University, my academic home at the time AWOL was launched. That is, from the Pillars of Hercules to the Pacific, from the beginnings of human habitation to the late antique / early Islamic period.
AWOL is the successor to Abzu, a guide to networked open access data relevant to the study and public presentation of the Ancient Near East and the Ancient Mediterranean world, founded at the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago in 1994. Together they represent the longest sustained effort to map the development of open digital scholarship in any discipline.
