British Internets to be archived

New legal powers to allow the British Library to archive millions of websites are to be fast-tracked by ministers after the Guardian exposed long delays in introducing the measures.
The culture minister, Margaret Hodge, is pressing for the faster introduction of powers to allow six major libraries to copy every free website based in the UK as part of their efforts to record Britain's cultural, scientific and political history...

Harvard University Library Open Collections Program

[First posted June 8, 2009; I slamic Heritage Project addedDecember 21, 2009]

Through its Open Collections Program, the Harvard University Library is presenting new, virtual collections of thematically linked material selected from numerous Harvard repositories. For the study of the ancient world, the Expeditions and Discoveries: Sponsored Exploration and Scientific Discovery in the Modern Age provides access to field notes, letters, maps, photographs, and published materials relating to a range of worldwide expeditions from 1626 to 1953.

Archaeological projects in Expeditions and Discoveries are

Carnegie Institution/Peabody Museum Expeditions to Kaminaljuyú, Guatemala, 1935–1953
Between 1935 and 1953, the Carnegie Institution of Washington excavated Kaminaljuyú and established it as one the most significant archaeological Pre-Columbian sites in Mesoamerica. Kaminaljuyú (meaning, in the Quiché language, "Hills of the Dead") grew from an agricultural community (ca. 2500 BCE) in the central highlands of Guatemala to become a large ceremonial site and political Maya capital that flourished until about 800 CE.

Harvard Expedition to Samaria, 1908–1910
Harvard’s Committee on Exploration in the Orient designated the American archaeologist George A. Reisner to direct the University’s expedition to Samaria. With sponsorship from Jacob H. Schiff, the expedition was intended to excavate the site of Samaria (Sebaste), which was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Israel.

Reisner located remains of the royal palace built by Omri and Ahab during the Israelite period, as well as remnants of buildings constructed during later periods of occupation by Babylonians, Greeks, and Romans. Noteworthy among the artifacts found were ostraca, or pottery fragments, depicting Hebrew-character inscriptions in carbon ink of Biblical names and memoranda of commercial shipments.

Islamic Heritage Project

Through the Islamic Heritage Project (IHP), Harvard University has cataloged, conserved, and digitized hundreds of Islamic manuscripts, maps, and published texts from Harvard’s renowned library and museum collections. These rare—and frequently unique—materials are now freely available to Internet users worldwide. IHP is made possible with the generous support of Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal.

For the IHP, Harvard’s Open Collections Program (OCP) has produced digital copies of over 260 manuscripts, 270 printed texts, and 50 maps, totaling over 145,000 pages—with more items to be added in coming months. Users can search or browse online materials that date from the 13th to the 20th centuries CE and represent many

regions, including Saudi Arabia, North Africa, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and South, Southeast, and Central Asia;
languages, primarily Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman Turkish; also Urdu, Chagatai, Malay, Gujarati, Indic languages, and several Western languages; and
subjects, including religious texts and commentaries; Sufism; history, geography, law, and the sciences (astronomy, astrology, mathematics, medicine); poetry and literature; rhetoric, logic, and philosophy; calligraphy, dictionaries and grammar, as well as biographies and autobiographical works.

Other collections represent botanical and zoological collecting expeditions.

Open Access Journal: e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies

e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies

The Center for Celtic Studies at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee publishes the electronic journal e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies. The journal is an integral part of the Center's mission to promote and disseminate research and communication related to Celtic cultures, past and present, in the academic arena as well as for the general public. Web resources on Celtic Culture that are content-rich, reliable and current are rare, and are very much in demand. The journal provides free access to cutting-edge, peer-reviewed articles solicited to address specific themes from a range of cross-disciplinary and international perspectives. The goal is to make full use of the electronic medium in a way that cannot be equalled by print journals due to cost or formatting constraints: numerous full-color images per article; video and audio clips; links to other sites embedded in the text; etc. The Celtic world is an especially rich source of graphic images, material culture, and oral as well as performative traditions, all of which can be presented especially effectively in an electronic format.

CDLI Old Assyrian files

Inclusion in CDLI of Old Assyrian files

Members of the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, supported in part by a generous grant from the Mellon Foundation (project: Creating a Sustainable Digital Cuneiform Library), have collaborated with leading experts in Old Assyrian studies to coordinate the digital capture and web dissemination of Old Assyrian documents held in numerous public and private collections worldwide. These clay tablets, excavated in modern Turkey, record the 20th century BC dealings, personal and professional, of a set of traders from the distant capital city Assur, and have for many decades been at the center of an extended discussion of long-distance trade in the ancient world. In total, more than 4650 transliterations of Old Assyrian records were made available to CDLI by specialists in Old Assyrian research. The conversion of these legacy files to CDLI's ASCII Transliteration Format (ATF) required a substantial effort by project collaborators Jacob Dahl (Oxford), Bob Englund, Marjan Yahyanejad (both UCLA), and Steve Tinney (UPenn). We are acutely aware of the fact that, despite our work, these transliterations still contain a substantial number of errors, both those remaining from original files and those introduced through our automatic and manual text conversion. In particular, irregularly coded text preservation markers resulted, in conversion, in the designation as broken (with brackets [...]) of transliteration that is in fact preserved on the text. Further, the important word separators (small vertical wedges, designated in our files with the forward slash "/") had to be reconstituted after a conversion error, and some number may have been missed in correction. These errors will in time be removed by further collation with the original files, or by exploiting the increased online access to hand copies and to images of original tablets (below). But the now fairly consistent transliterations represent a substantial new set of research tools for specialists as well as for web users with general linguistic interests, and it would make no sense to us to withhold them from general web access due to the caveats we feel we should make to users.

In conjunction with the conversion and processing of transliterations and catalogue entries, CDLI staff and collaborators in Los Angeles, Berlin and Oxford have begun with the processing and posting of image data documenting the corpus. The inclusion in CDLI pages of available published hand copies of texts, and of images of original tablets, facilitates the ongoing transliteration and collation work of collaborators in this project. Line art copies are being processed by UCLA staff, while Jacob Dahl (Oxford) and Mellon postdoctoral associate Christina Tsouparopoulou (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin) have imaged some numbers of original tablets. The full Old Assyrian digital files of CDLI (currently ca. 5550 entries) are viewable at http://tinyurl.com/yzqewkt, and we have put up a complete text file of available and converted Old Assyrian transliterations, together with sign and word lists, at http://cdli.ucla.edu/downloads.html; we note that Steve Tinney is preparing an updated RTF convertor for ATF files that will produce nicely formatted text processor (RTF) facsimiles of transliterations for use in publications.

Any assistance that AWOL readers can give us in scanning, or merely in gaining access to further Old Assyrian exemplars so that CDLI can perform their digital capture, would be greatly appreciated.

Open Access Journal: The Silk Road

The Silk Road

Our journal is dedicated to public education about the history and cultures of Eurasia, especially in pre-modern times. While we invoke the historic "Silk Road" in our title, our view of the Silk Roads is an expansive one, encompassing pre-history, the era beginning with the establishment of trans-Eurasian trade and cultural interaction some two millennia ago, and the subsequent history of those interactions down through the centuries. Modern evocations of cultural traditions are of interest, especially in the areas which historically have been the domain of pastoral nomads. We publish articles by well known scholars and those who have other expertise on the regions and material of interest. Where possible we are communicating the results of the latest research, including new archaeological investigations. The journal also serves as the means to alert readers about upcoming programs connected with Silk Road topics.

The following list includes (almost) all publications served from the webspace of the Research Archives of the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago. The great bulk of them are scans of books from the collections but the list also includes a set of older and recent doctoral dissertations written at the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations of the University of Chicago. A few born digital publications of the Research Archives are also included, based on quality, longevity and continuing access. All of them are catalogued in Abzu, and all are catalogued in and linked to from the Research Archives OPAC.

Open Access Text Corpus: Etruscan Texts Project (ETP)

Etruscan Texts Project (ETP)

Etruscan Texts Project (ETP) is an online editio minor of Etruscan inscriptions published under the auspices of the Classics Department and the Center for Etruscan Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. The database is an integral part of the Center’s mission to advance research in the area of Etruscan language studies. Reliable web resources devoted to the study of the Etruscan language are virtually non-existent so the presence of ETP establishes a scholarly outpost on the frontier of the electronic medium.
ETP makes available to the scholarly community in a user-friendly format recently recovered Etruscan inscriptions. The corpus includes inscriptions that have been recovered since 1988 and thus not published in Rix et al. Etruskische Texte (1991). ETP updates its corpus on a monthly basis as Etruscan inscriptions are recovered and made public.
The advantage of an electronic format for the publication of inscriptions is no longer controversial. The site can be updated as inscriptions are recovered. By publishing Etruscan texts electronically the amount of time elapsing between the discovery of an inscription and its appearance in a scholarly forum can be greatly reduced thus permitting more efficient transmission of scholarly data. And given the rising cost of print productions and decreases in funding for library resources, an electronic publication ensures that an international community of scholars has free and unlimited access to the most recently edited Etruscan documents. Advances in the knowledge of the language, history, and the culture of the Etruscans take place only if Etruscan inscriptions are made available to scholarly community in a timely fashion...

BIBLindex

Le projet BIBLINDEX est porté par l'Institut des Sources Chrétiennes, membre du laboratoire de recherche HiSoMA (Histoire et Sources des Mondes antiques), sous la tutelle du CNRS et de l'Université Lyon II.

The ultimate goal of this site is to permit the identification of biblical quotations in all Jewish and Christian literature of Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. For the time being, it already allows simple interrogation in a corpus of about 400,000 biblical references.

Méthodes de travail

Les documents de base pour la réflexion sur les méthodes de travail sont :

le fascicule du CADP : J. ALLENBACH, Etapes, moyens et méthodes d’analyse, Fac. de Strasbourg, 1967 (cote H4 à SC) : de nombreuses indications sont peu exploitables dans la mesure où elles concernent le codage des microfiches, mais des éléments sont à reprendre impérativement.
les introductions des volumes papier du CADP
les Directives de SC, § 64-71, 148-150.
Rappel : les Directives précisent (p. 4-5) qu’il a été tenu compte des avis du CADP pour leur rédaction.

Texte biblique de référence
Pour le CADP, le texte biblique de référence et la numérotation des versets sont pris dans :
les éditions modernes de l’AT en hébreu
la LXX de Rahlfs pour les livres propres à la LXX,
le NT en grec, éd. Nestlé-Aland.
Pour les volumes de Sources Chrétiennes,
pour les textes grecs, l’édition A. Rahlfs, Septuaginta, 2 vol.Stuttgart, 1935 de la LXX
pour les textes latins, l’édition R. Weber, Biblia sacra juxta vulgatam versionem, 2 vol., Stuttgart 1969) de la Vg.
Comme SC le précise, « Il n’est pas possible de traiter les emprunts, allusions et citations patristiques en se référant uniquement à la numérotation et au texte d’une Bible moderne » (Directives, § 67).
Proposition méthodologique : garder le choix du CADP, mais en prévoyant dans la base de données un outil donnant automatiquement la correspondance Vg ou LXX du numéro de verset considéré.

Pour la Vg, cf. tableau de correspondance en ligne (base Access) ; pour la LXX, le tableau, à convertir sous forme systématique exploitable informatiquement. Interroger les biblistes pour connaître les outils qu'ils ont déjà à leur disposition.

Prévoir dans la base de données un outil donnant automatiquement la correspondance Vg ou LXX du numéro de verset considéré : Lors de l'interrogation de l'index, en cas de divergence de numérotation, l'information sera donnée systématiquement : (LXX:... entre parenthèses, possibilité d'interrogation par numérotation de la Vg ou de la LXX ou de la BJ, etc.)

Les arguments pour ce choix :

Le texte biblique de référence des Pères est fluctuant, la division des Bibles hébraïques résulte d’un consensus des savants modernes.
L’index peut être accessible à un public cultivé non spécialiste...
