Iconem's ambition is to preserve the knowledge of threatened heritage using digital advances. Thanks to our ground surveys and our visual processing algorithms, we are able to produce real digital doubles of archaeological remains or expanses. We hence offer the scientific community and the public an innovative means of exploring famous places of world heritage.
For sites under threat of disappearance, our technology guarantees that, whatever happens, the archaeological knowledge will be preserved. By scanning today the sites which are under threat of disappearance tomorrow, we are working to preserve a common asset and we are ensuring its transmission to future generations.
Syrian culture is our common heritage. We are losing it. What can we do to preserve this culture for future generations? Documentation can't wait! Iconem sends specialists to support Syrian archaeologists and architects by providing them with advanced techniques to document their heritage. We organise missions in the field using the latest technology in order to create a digital database of Syrian monuments and a national team able to provide data for it. Because saving the knowledge of this history is our common duty.
التراث الثقافي السوري هو تراث مشترك للجميع. إننا نخسره! ماذا يمكن أن نفعل للحفاظ على هذه الثقافة للأجيال القادمة؟ إنّ إجراء التوثيق لا يمكن أن ينتظر! تتولى إيكونيم إرسال متخصصين لدعم علماء الآثار والمعماريين السوريين من خلال تزويدهم بمعدات حديثة لتوثيق تراثهم. إننا نقوم بتنظيم بعثات ميدانية مجهزة بأحدث التكنولوجيا بهدف إنشاء قاعدة بيانات للآثار السورية، وتكوين فريق وطني قادر على تغذيتها. لأن إنقاذ معرفة هذا التاريخ هو واجبنا المشترك.

Holy Land Collections at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries
Holy Land Collections at the University of Pennsylvania Libraries
Penn's libraries are home to a wide range of special and general collections related to the Holy Land. These include primary sources such as rare manuscripts, early modern printed books, travelogues, early photographs and printed postcards, engraved and hand-illustrated maps and atlases, original archeological artifacts, field reports, and extensive circulating secondary sources. Among the most important are the Lenkin Collection of Photography, which consists of over 5,000 early photographs of the Holy Land, dating from 1850-1937 and the Paola and Bertrand Lazard Holy Land Print collections, including hundreds of early printed books, postcards, maps, drawings, and watercolors. Recent acquisitions include the Moldovan Family Digital Holy Land Map Collection and the Zucker Holy Land Travel Manuscript. Related materials at Penn are found in the University of Pennsylvania Museum's rich collection of early photographs, including nearly 1,500 original Maison Bonfils photographs, as well as in the Museum's historical records and field reports of archeological excavations at places like Bet Shean in Israel.
The Penn Libraries' Holy Land Collections are located on campus at the Kislak Center for Special Collections, Rare Books and Manuscripts, the Museum Library and the Library at the Herbert D. Katz Center for Advanced Judaic Studies, which is home to the historic Holy Land collections assembled at the Dropsie College for Hebrew and Cognate Learning. The Katz Center is a global leader in the study of Jewish civilization, supporting a fellowship program that attracts scholars in Jewish studies from around the world for research on a common annual theme.

Le Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines de Daremberg et Saglio
Le Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines de Daremberg et Saglio
Le projet de mise en ligne du Dictionnaire des Antiquités Grecques et Romaines est issu d'un partenariat entre des enseignants d'Histoire de l'Université du Mirail et la Mission Innovation Technologique et Multimedia qui assure son développement. Ce projet prévoit l'accès Internet au contenu de l'ouvrage et la possibilité de commenter et d'enrichir les articles.
Ce site est le résultat d'une série de travaux expérimentaux effectués dans le but de permettre l'accès aux textes par la recherche documentaire (recherche par entrées et plein-texte). Il offre à tous l'accès aux fichiers numérisés ainsi que les fonctionnalités de recherches internes.
5 juin 2015 : Nouvelle version du site, plus stable que l'ancienne, attention cependant, vos favoris vers des articles ne fonctionneront pas. D'autres nouvelles à venir.
17 juin 2015 : La recherche refonctionne.
23 juin 2015 : Retour des illustrations associées aux entrées.
08 mars 2016 : Les anciens liens depuis Wikipedia (*sdx*) redirigent vers l'index des entrées, à la bonne lettre.

Monastic Manuscript Project
Monastic Manuscript Project
The Monastic Manuscript Project is a database of descriptions of manuscripts that contain texts relevant for the study of early medieval monasticism, especially monastic rules, ascetic treatises, vitae patrum-texts and texts related to monastic reforms. We provide lists of manuscripts for each of these texts, which are linked to manuscript descriptions. The purpose is to offer a tool for reconstructing not only the manuscript dissemination of early medieval monastic texts but also to give access to the specific contexts in which a text appears.
The database supports current edition projects and draws attention to understudied texts and the transmission of fragments, excerpts and florilegia. It is designed to facilitate the work of students and scholars who are interested in the history and reception of texts and who want to work with manuscripts rather than rely on modern editions.
Most pages provide links to a number of web resources, such as manuscript catalogues, online texts and translations, digitized manuscripts and repertoria. Manuscript descriptions are usually based on published manuscript catalogues and secondary literature. We hope to replace these often incomplete and inaccurate descriptions with new ones that are based on hands on studies of the manuscripts themselves.
The Monastic Manuscript Project is conceptualized as a 'Wiki' project. Every student or scholar who works on monastic manuscripts is invited to contribute new manuscript descriptions, to fill in gaps and to submit additions and corrections to existing pages. Eventually the project will become a forum for collaborative work and the presentation of new research.
The database currently can be searched for authors, texts, manuscripts, incipits, genres, and provenances. Other inquiries, about scripts or on CLA numbers, for example, can be carried out with the site search function (below).
Request for evaluation: we are constantly improving our website and database and adding new functions. Please tell us about additional search functions and information you would like us to provide. We appreciate suggestions for entering specific sets of texts and/or manuscripts. We would be happy to know how and for which purposes you use this website.
A Checklist of the Egyptian Museum's Unpublished Greek Papyri
A Checklist of the Egyptian Museum's Unpublished Greek Papyri

During the past two decades, papyrologists trying to keep track of publications of the papyri in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo listed in Grenfell and Hunt’s 1903 volume of the Catalogue Général des Antiquités Égyptiennes du Musée du Caire have been well served by published concordances, first by the concordance provided by the authors themselves, Index I. Bibliography, pp. 111-112, then by K. A. Worp, “Die veröffentlichten P.Cair.: Eine Konkordanz,” ZPE 91 (1992) 95-98, and finally by addenda by A. Martin und G. Nachtergael in CdE 72 (1997) 305f. An adapted version of this concordance list can be consulted online; in this one can find all the numbers that have appeared in BAC until volume 26 (2009).
No such help has been readily available for the still-unpublished papyri of that volume. Since the AIP’s International Photographic Archive of Papyri has photographs of about 4600 papyri of the Egyptian Museum and it is available to all papyrologist worldwide, it can easily happen that the same papyrus text is edited by more than one scholar at a time. Moreover, because the papyri in P.Cair.Cat. have served as a major source of unpublished papyri for Egyptian students, it has happened that an Egyptian M.A. or Ph.D. thesis has included a papyrus simultaneously edited by an international papyrologist, or that the publication of a papyrus text escapes the notice of the national editor of the same papyrus. No doubt these instances are not intentional trespasses on the AIP’s guiding principle of Amicitia Papyrologorum. This checklist is intended to help colleagues to avoid such unintentional duplication of effort in the future, and it is hoped that it can be updated and corrected regularly...

Bibliothèque virtuelle des manuscrits médiévaux (BVMM)
La Bibliothèque virtuelle des manuscrits médiévaux (BVMM), élaborée par l’Institut de recherche et d’histoire des textes (IRHT-CNRS), permet de consulter la reproduction d’une large sélection de manuscrits, du Moyen Âge au XVIe siècle.
L’IRHT, avec le soutien du Ministère de la Culture et de la Communication (Service du Livre et de la Lecture) et du Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche (Mission de l’information scientifique et technique et du réseau documentaire), effectue les campagnes photographiques dans des fonds patrimoniaux dispersés sur tout le territoire français, hormis ceux de la Bibliothèque nationale de France.
Dans la BVMM les manuscrits ou incunables sont reproduits :
Les recherches dans la BVMM se font par bibliothèques, à partir de la cote du manuscrit.
- Intégralement
- Partiellement : numérisation de la décoration ou d’une partie significative de l’ouvrage.
D'autres possibilités de recherches sur les manuscrits et leurs reproductions sont proposées par Medium et les autres bases scientifiques de l’IRHT.onnexion
