The National Portal and Digital Repository for Indian Museums are
developed and hosted by Human-Centred Design & Computing Group,
C-DAC, Pune as per the agreement with Ministry of Culture, Government of
India. HCDC Group has also developed JATAN: Virtual Museum software
which is used for creating the digital collections in various museums
and digital archival tools that are used in background for managing the
national digital repository of museums.
Presently as a part of the digitization efforts of the Ministry of
Culture, Government of India the digitized collections of 10 selected
Museums, as given below, are placed in the digital repository for Indian
Museums and also on the National Portal developed by C-DAC, Pune in
consultation with the Ministry of Culture along with technical help from
the Art Institute of Chicago
in the first phase. Subsequently, it will be our endeavour to make
available the digitized collections of the remaining museums under the
Ministry of Culture/Archaeological Survey of India also on the National
Portal.
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.
