ISAW at Five

ISAW at Five (May 2012)

Brochure produced on the occasion of the completion of the fifth year in the life of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World.

On May 22, the ISAW community celebrated the completion of the fifth year of the Institute’s life. A festive crowd of about eighty gathered for a lively and wide-ranging lecture by Senior Fellow Holly Pittman, drinks in the garden (the threatened rain held off), and a dinner in the Oak Library. President John Sexton and Provost David McLaughlin were present along with other university leaders to celebrate with us the accomplishments of the past five years and the many people who have made those possible...

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.

AWOL is syndicated to Facebook and Twitter.
