A Finding Aid for the Pylos Excavations Archive

A Finding Aid for the Pylos Excavations Archive
Natalia Vogeikoff-Brogan

 

A new finding aid for the Pylos Excavations Archive at the ASCSA has replaced the old inventory. In addition, with the remainder of a grant from the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation, which funded the organization and publication of a conference in honor of Carl and Elizabeth Blegen in 2013-2014, we digitized a number of excavation notebooks.

The thorough finding aid is the intellectual product of Research Archivist, Dr. Leda Costaki (with the exception of the catalog of the Pylos frescoes which was done by Eileen Gantos in 1996). Dr. Jeff Kramer, Post-Doctoral Fellow (Archivist of Excavation Records), is currently completing a similar finding aid for the Pylos Excavation records in the Classics Department of the University of Cincinnati. Links to both finding aids will be posted on each repository's web site.

Pylos aficionados, you can access the new finding aid at: http://www.ascsa.edu.gr/index.php/archives/pylos-excavations-finding-aid

 Hesperia Bibliographic Citations Now on Zotero

by Andrew Reinhard

Bibliographic citation data for 1,500+ Hesperia articles are now freely available on the Zotero platform. Zotero is a widely used, open bibliography tool that helps scholars collect, organize, cite, and share research sources.

Researchers who use Zotero while writing articles and books that reference Hesperia articles can download citation data by visiting the ASCSA’s group page. You can choose to browse the collection of articles from 1932 to 2012 by volume year, or you can search with keywords across all articles.

When you find a citation you need, you can download that data to your own collection of research bibliography. Zotero will automatically format it in the style of your choice (e.g., Chicago Manual of Style). Citation data include article title/subtitle, author, abstract, volume/issue/page numbers, and publication date.

For those researchers with access to JSTOR, Zotero citation entries for Hesperia also contain links to the articles themselves. Once older volumes of Hesperia (1932–2009) become available online for free later this year, these links will be updated to point to the ASCSA’s website.

ASCSA monographs are also on Zotero in the “ASCSA Books” collection, organized by series (e.g., Corinth, Isthmia). This is a work in progress, with about 70 more books to be added to complete the open bibliography of all ASCSA publications...
