Papyrus Collection Museo Egizio: "Turin Papyrus Online Platform (TPOP)" - A step away from closed archives towards open data
Papyrus Collection Museo Egizio: "Turin Papyrus Online Platform (TPOP)" - A step away from closed archives towards open data
The purpose of this website is to put the papyrus collection in the Museo Egizio online via the Turin Papyrus Online Platform. The final aim is to provide public access to all of the museum’s papyri in the long run.
The website allows the academic community and general public alike to search, browse and collect information about the papyri.
Work on the online platform is in progress.
Currently, only a selection of the collection is visible on the
website. Registered users, on the other hand, have access to the whole
collection of Ramesside hieratic papyri, except for the smaller
fragments. The number of accessible papyri will be constantly expanded
over the coming years.
We are collaborating with an international academic community of
scholars who are engaged in research on our papyri. Therefore, the language
of the database is English. However, translations of the texts written
on the papyri will be included in several languages, and an Italian
version of the website will be launched very soon.
This website provides vivid narratives targeted at
the non-specialist, focusing on the history and content of the Turin
papyri, the ongoing papyrus projects and their workflow, and the
application of innovative technology to investigate ancient manuscripts.
