We announce Perseus 6.0 on March 15, 2023, five years after the release of the Scaife Viewer in 2018 and 15 years after the loss of Ross Scaife (1960-2008), a pioneer in Digital Classics and a friend to many of those whose work contributes to Perseus 6. Current NEH funding for Beyond Translation will run through August 2023.

Members of Tufts computing (such as Patrick Florance, Peter Nadel and Christopher Barnett) have contributed as well, playing key roles in planning and in thinking through our priorities...
