Open Access Journal: Cuneiform Digital Library Bulletin

[First posted in AWOL 31 August 2009.  Most recently updated 11 May 2026]


Cuneiform Digital Library Bulletin (CDLB)
ISSN: 1540-8760


The Cuneiform Digital Library Bulletin is an electronic journal constituted in conjunction with the organization and work of the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative to afford contributors to that effort the opportunity to make known to an international community the results of their research into topics related to those of the CDLI.

The CDLB is a refereed e-journal for Assyriology and is conceived as a sister publication of the Cuneiform Digital Library Journal. While the latter journal seeks substantive contributions dealing with the major themes of the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative, that is, with text analyses of 4th and 3rd millennium documents (incorporating text, photographs, data, drawings, interpretations), early language, writing, paleography, administrative history, mathematics, metrology, and the technology of modern cuneiform editing are welcome, articles in the Bulletin should be short notes of at most five pages that deal with specific topics, collations, etc., and do not attempt to offer synthetic treatments of complex subjects.

For more information on this journal, visit the CDLJ and CDLB information page.

Open Access Digital Library: AMAR: Archive of Mesopotamian Archaeological Site Reports

[Originally posted in AWOL 27 July 2009. Most recently updated 15 April 2026]

AMAR: Archive of Mesopotamian Archaeological Site Reports

The Archive of Mesopotamian Archaeological Reports (AMAR) collection is part of the Iraq Cultural Heritage Program Grant. The Iraq Cultural Heritage Project (ICHP) was established in 2008 through a grant from the US Embassy in Baghdad. The Cultural Affairs Office at the Embassy oversees the project. International Relief and Development (IRD), a US-based non-governmental organization, implements the project for the Embassy. The project director, Elizabeth Stone, has directed archaeological excavations in Iraq, engaged in advanced training for Iraqi archaeologists, and attempted to document and stem the damage to Iraq's archaeological sites. Dr. Stone is collaborating with the University Libraries at Stony Brook University to make the AMAR collection available online. Before developing this online collection, she contributed more than one hundred digitized volumes to the ETANA website. The AMAR project aims to digitize 500 archaeological site reports describing archaeological excavations in Iraq and the immediately surrounding areas (Turkey, Syria, Iran, and the Gulf). This will include both out-of-copyright as well as in-copyright and in-print materials. This online collection is intended to provide basic sources of information to our colleagues in Iraq and other archaeologists working in the Middle East. The digital files are only to be distributed from the AMAR website. Individuals, libraries, institutions, and others may download one complimentary copy for their own personal use. Links to the AMAR website are welcomed.

Yale Babylonian Collection

[First posted in AWOL 23 May 2021, update 8 July 2025] 

Yale Babylonian Collection

The Yale Babylonian Collection is an international center for learning and research in ancient Western Asia, hosting scholars and students from across the globe. Its mission is to preserve, publish, and make available for everyone the cuneiform texts, seals, and other artifacts it houses. Generously supported by the National Endowment of the Humanities and the Council on Library and Information Resources, the Collection is digitized and available online for free.    

Left to right: Old Akkadian delivery of goats (NBC 6861), Babylonian duck weight (YBC 2262), Old Babylonian mask (YBC 2238).

The Collection holds some 40,000 items, including cuneiform clay tablets, stamp and cylinder seals, and a range of other materials. Some of its highlights are the world’s oldest culinary recipes, a mathematical school tablet which approximates the square root of 2, a poem composed by the first named author in world literature, a woman named Enheduana, as well as a manuscript of the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Yale Babylonian Collection was founded by 1911 by Albert T. Clay with support from the New York financier J. P. Morgan. The Collection joined the Yale Peabody Museum in 2017. It is located on the 3rd floor of the Sterling Memorial Library.
