Explore Collections of Islamic Art

Now Showing: Islamic Art Collections from Around the World

 A new digital initiative offers online visitors a view of Islamic Art collections at museums from around the world. Over 40 museums in 18 countries are included in Explore Collections of Islamic Art, a resource recently launched by Museum With No Frontiers (MWNF).

Items on view range from paintings and documents to work in metal, ivory, clay and more, dating from the Umayyad dynasty to the late Ottoman period. High resolution photographs allow visitors to see the pieces in detail. The descriptions accompanying many of the collections appear in English and other languages, including Arabic, French, German and Italian.

MWNF plans to expand this resource by adding additional art collections, with objects from museums in Sharjah, Athens and Vienna slated to appear on the site soon.

AD79: Destruction and Recovery
Peter Clements

This site is simply intended to give an overall view of the effects and aftermath of the Vesuvian eruption, a virtual guide book, if you like, for the Campanian towns that were destroyed that day in late summer AD79. The information on the site has been cross checked with as many sources as possible and none of the text relies on a single source.

The written sources of the data are listed in the bibliography, but this has been extensively added to by on-line resources. The plans and maps have all been produced by the author and are based on actual surveys, those in Pompeii on the excellent GIS provided by MainstreetGIS. As mentioned above, the photographs come from a multitude of sources, all of which are referenced in the photo library together with their associated copyright restrictions.

We hope you will enjoy the site. For comments, feedback or suggestions for the site, please use the form on the Contact Us page. If you prefer something less formal, try our 'Shoutbox' on our News and Views page.

Open Access Journal: Anthropological Science

[First posted in AWOL 23 April 2009. Updated 15 November 2011]

Anthropological Science, earlier entitled Journal of Anthropological Society of Nippon
ISSN 0918-7960

Welcome to the Anthropological Science. Whilst Anthropological Science is the official journal of Anthropological Society of Nippon, the scope and aims of the journal extend further than the society. The pivotal role of Anthropological Science is to provide fair and convenient opportunities to anthropological researchers on a worldwide basis, including the fields of palaeoanthropology, morphological anthropology, population genetics, prehistory and archaeology, primatology, ecology, biomechanics, physiology, growth, development, and somatology, linguistics, etc. I look forward to receiving your exciting, novel and attractive original manuscripts and review papers.

The official journal of the anthropological society of Nippon has been published since 1886, making it one of the oldest science journals in Japan. With the first issue of 1993, the Anthropological Science has completed its 15years of publication. Thanks to the hard work and outstanding efforts of my predecessor, Gen Suwa of the University of Tokyo, and their associate editors, reviewers, authors, and support staffs of the anthropological society of Nippon. As a new editor-in-chief, I do not have any other choice, but to learn the successful footsteps from the previous editor-in-chief and keep enhancing the journal’s value to its authors and readers. The aim of the Anthropological Science is to highlight the theoretical and practical aspect of anthropology and related science .

Open Access Journal: Extrême-Orient Extrême-Occident

Extrême-Orient Extrême-Occident

Extrême-Orient Extrême-Occident consacre chaque numéro à un thème ou une question (la divination, le divertissement, le politique, l’art des jardins, l’existence d’une philosophie chinoise, etc.) intéressant l’ensemble des productions culturelles du monde sinisé (Chine, Corée, Japon, Viêt Nam). Les différentes contributions élaborent par convergence des éléments de réponse à partir des horizons et des savoirs les plus divers. L’ensemble est traditionnellement offert, pour clore le volume, à la réflexion d’un « regard extérieur » qui les met en perspective avec des travaux menés sur des questions similaires dans les civilisations d’« Extrême-Occident ».

Digital Dictionaries of South Asia

Digital Dictionaries of South Asia

The South Asia Language and Area Center at University of Chicago, Columbia University, and the Triangle South Asia Consortium in North Carolina are creating and disseminating electronic dictionaries. For each of the twenty-six modern literary languages of South Asia, a panel of language experts identified key dictionaries currently in print and selected at least one multilingual dictionary for each language. For the more frequently taught languages, a monolingual dictionary also has been chosen. After identifying the best available resources, the chosen dictionaries have been converted to digital formats.

The project proposal is available in PDF format.

Funding:

The International Research and Studies, Technological Innovation and Cooperation for Foreign Information Access, and Language Resource Centers programs within the International Education Programs Service of the U.S. Department of Education have funded this project.
