Collection Traunecker MSS - Claude Traunecker Collection

We are very pleased to announce the completion of the cataloguing of the Traunecker MSS collection on graffiti from the temple of Amun at Karnak. Created by Professor Claude Traunecker between the 1960s and 1990s, this collection is a treasure trove of information on secondary epigraphy from one of the most important ancient Egyptian temple sites.
The full catalogue is now available on the Griffith Institute Archive Online Catalogue: https://archive.griffith.ox.ac.uk/.../traunecker-collection
The collection was reorganised, rehoused, and catalogued by Professor Elizabeth Frood with the assistance of Ella Bosworth-Gerbino (UCL).

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.
