Greek and Latin inscriptions preserved in the United States of America
U.S. Epigraphy Project
The goal of the U.S. Epigraphy Project is to gather and distribute information about ancient (mainly but not
only) Greek and Latin inscriptions preserved in the United States of America.
2,300 inscriptions (720 Greek, 1,575 Latin) registered by the Project by the middle of 1997 and
listed in Greek and Latin Inscriptions in the USA. A Checklist, by J. Bodel and S. Tracy formed the core of the original website of the
U.S. Epigraphy Project founded at Rutgers University in 1995.
The Project moved to Brown University in 2003, where the present
xml-based website was originated and has been developed in cooperation
with the Scholarly Technology Group. It currently allows browsing of an
enlarged database of some 2,500 Greek and Latin inscriptions in the USA
by collection and publication and searching of nearly all of these
according to various categories of metadata (language, date, origin,
type, material) and bibliographic information. A growing digital
edition of the collection currently registers some 400 transcriptions of
Latin texts encoded according to EpiDoc conventions and provides some
1,000 photographs and images of the inscriptions in our corpus.
Each inscription catalogued by the U.S. Epigraphy Project is assigned a U.S.
Epigraphy number based upon its current location in the United States, by which it is uniquely identified.
The inscriptions can be browsed by publication, by
collection, or, for the inscriptions with photographs, through
keyword searches.
