The study of mummified animals from ancient Egypt has often been perceived as being of lesser importance than the study of the human dead; however, this project aims to promote the study of faunal material of this kind by uncovering information relating to these creatures and the ancient culture that preserved them. 

Established in June 2010, the Ancient Egyptian Animal Bio Bank Project is a centralised database and image bank for mummified animal material from museums in the UK and overseas. The concept, developed to contribute to the existing International Ancient Egyptian Mummy Tissue Bank, will combine known records with new research to broaden current knowledge and increase understanding.

Research carried out at the KNH Centre has focused on the application of non-invasive techniques to obtain the maximum amount of information without compromising the integrity of the mummies. However, in some cases we have been able to obtain small samples from damaged areas, which have been subjected to preliminary non-invasive microscopic imaging. These samples are stored in the Tissue Bank facility under environmentally controlled conditions.

The aim of the Ebla Digital Archives [ EbDA ] database is to provide a digital edition of the entire corpus of cuneiform texts belonging to the Ebla Royal Archives. Texts are reproduced in the same sequence as in the individual volumes of the series Archivi Reali di Ebla – Testi published by the “Italian Archaeological Mission to Siria” of the Sapienza University of Rome. Compared with the hard copy publication, the digital edition provides harmonized transliterations, corrections and numerous collations made over the years by the team of epigraphers who cooperate with the Mission.

The project is presented as a work in progress. The ARET volumes currently included in the database will be gradually followed by other volumes published in the past years. Additional texts or portions of texts that have appeared in other series, in monographs or in journals will be also included in the database. Any suggestion by interested users will be highly appreciated.

The Getty makes available, without charge, all available digital images to which the Getty holds the rights or that are in the public domain to be used for any purpose. No permission is required.

Please see the related press release and Getty president and CEO Jim Cuno's announcement on The Getty Iris for additional information.
Why Open Content?

The Getty adopted the Open Content Program because we recognized the need to share images of works of art in an unrestricted manner, freely, so that all those who create or appreciate art—scholars, artists, art lovers, and entrepreneurs—will have greater access to high-quality digital images for their studies and projects. Art inspires us, and imagination and creativity lead to artistic expressions that expand knowledge and understanding. The Getty sincerely hopes that people will use the open content images for a wide range of activities and that they will share the fruits of their labors with others.
Access to Open Content Images

Initially, the images available through the Open Content Program are of works in the J. Paul Getty Museum's collections. Over time, images from the Getty Research Institute and the Getty Conservation Institute will be added. Museum images can be found on the Museum's Collection webpages or on the Getty Search Gateway. Those available as open content images are identified with a "Download" link. Images provided are JPEG files at a minimum of 300 DPI. See the Guidelines for Successful Printing (PDF) for more information on file format.

If you need new photography, resizing, or color correction, you can request those services by Contacting Museum Rights & Reproductions. A fee (PDF) will be charged for this service.
Public Domain and Rights

Open content images are digital surrogates of works of art that are in the Getty's collections and in the public domain, for which we hold all rights, or for which we are not aware of any rights restrictions. Rights restrictions are based on copyright, trademark, privacy and publicity laws, and contractual obligations. If an image you want is not designated as an open content image, it is because one or more of the above identified legal rights restricts our ability to make that content available under this program. While the Getty reviews the metadata about each picture before making it available as an open content image, there may be some underlying rights that were unknown to us. For that reason, we strongly recommend that users consider the possibility that rights of third parties may be involved, and permission for those rights may need to be obtained by the user for the proposed use.
Fair Use

Open content images can be used for any purpose without first seeking permission from the Getty. Images of many other works in the collections are also on our website in varying formats. The Getty supports fair use of images when the applicable legal criteria are met. For more information on use of digital images of works in the Getty's collections, please refer to the Getty's Terms of Use.

„Corpus Coranicum – Textdokumentation und historisch-kritischer Kommentar zum Koran”

Ziel des Vorhabens ist erstens eine Dokumentation des Korantextes in seiner handschriftlichen und mündlichen Überlieferungsgestalt, zweitens eine umfassende Datenbank von jüdischen, christlichen, altarabischen und anderen Intertexten zu einzelnen Koranstellen und drittens ein ausführlicher Kommentar.

Die Überlieferung des Korantextes zeichnet sich durch ein Nebeneinander von schriftlicher und mündlicher Tradition aus. Besonderes Kennzeichen der handschriftlichen Tradition ist dabei, dass das Schriftsystem früher Koranmanuskripte durch fehlende Vokalzeichen und konsonantenunterscheidende Diakritika häufig mehrdeutig ist. Die Textdokumentation wird den handschriftlichen Befund und die mündliche Lesetradition in Form einer Doppelseite nebeneinander stellen.

Die Datenbank „Texte aus der Umwelt des Korans“ soll anhand von spätantiken Überlieferungen, die sich mit koranischen Stoffen und Begrifflichkeiten berühren, den kulturellen und religiösen Horizont der unmittelbaren Adressaten des Textes zugänglich machen.

Der Kommentar schließlich nimmt den Koran einerseits aus einer konsequent diachronen Perspektive in den Blick, d.h. als ein über zwei Jahrzehnte gewachsenes Korpus von Einzeltexten, und macht andererseits durch sorgfältige formkritische Analyse die literarische Logik der einzelnen Textstücke transparent.

Das Akademienvorhaben, das 2007 eingerichtet worden ist, ist Teil des „Zentrums Grundlagenforschung Alte Welt" der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften.

Caesaris mortem – Quibus locis tituli reperti asservati sint testibus adiectis. 

With detailed prefaces in Latin, German and English these indices will be of great value for all those who deal with inscriptions from the Republican period.

RE:  Archaeological Archive to be Publicly Accessible for First Time in 135 Years
The Archaeological Institute of America, North America’s largest and oldest non-profit organization devoted to archaeology, will make the extensive archival materials of its 135-year history available online, thanks to a grant from the Leon Levy Foundation.  The project will include the complete inventorying of the AIA Archive, digitization and translation of all documents, and deposition of the entire digital Archive at the AIA’s host institution Boston University, where it will be universally available via open access.

AIA President Elizabeth Bartman applauded the grant: “The Leon Levy Foundation’s generous support will facilitate not only an understanding of our institutional past but also of what was, at the time of the AIA’s founding in 1879, a new discipline of study.  At its heart, a study of the AIA is an exploration of intellectual history.”

The vast AIA Archive includes such materials as founding documents (including those related to the AIA’s Congressional charter); presidential correspondence; minutes of board meetings; formal and legal reports; AIA publications (the early Papers, the American Journal of Archaeology, and Art and Archaeology, later renamed Archaeology); as well as materials from annual meetings, lectures, and site preservation efforts. In addition, papers record the AIA’s early archaeological work in Assos (Turkey), Crete, Croton (Italy), Cyrene (Libya), and Tarsus (Turkey), and document the AIA’s role in the foundation of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, the American School of Classical Studies in Rome (later the American Academy), and the School of American Archaeology.
Systematizing and digitizing the AIA Archive fulfills a long-desired goal of making it broadly available to archaeologists, scholars, and the general public.  Susan Heuck Allen, AIA member and author of several books that are based on primary research in the Archive, notes that the Leon Levy Foundation gift will offer scholars the opportunity “to dig into the Institute’s own stratigraphy to understand the development of our discipline and the context of the United States and its excavations.”

The Leon Levy Foundation is a leader in providing funding to catalogue and make accessible important cultural archives; it has long supported the excavation of the ancient seaport of Ashkelon and the publication of archaeological fieldwork. It recently granted lead support to a new collaboration between the British Museum and the Penn Museum that will produce a dynamic online resource to the archaeology of the ancient kingdom of Ur. Work on the Archive is expected to begin immediately and the entire collection will be available in the fall of 2016.

Arabian Humanities s’inscrit dans la continuité des Chroniques yéménites, revue de valorisation des travaux menés au Centre Français d’Archéologie et de Sciences sociales de Sanaa (CEFAS) entre 1993 et 2013. Tout en garantissant l’accès aux numéros des Chroniques yéménites, elle en élargit le champ de compétence à l’ensemble de la péninsule Arabique, et se tourne résolument vers l’international.

Arabian Humanities est une revue à comité de lecture, multilingue (articles édités et publiés en français, anglais et arabe), qui couvre, à un rythme biannuel, l’ensemble des domaines des sciences humaines allant de la préhistoire jusqu’aux sociétés actuelles.

Construit autour d’un dossier thématique, chaque numéro comprend également des varia et des comptes rendus de lecture sur les publications les plus récentes portant sur la péninsule Arabique et paraissant en langues européennes et arabe.

Arabian Humanities is the continuation of the earlier Chroniques yéménites journal, published by the French Center for Archaeology and Social Sciences in Sanaa (CEFAS) from 1993. It broadens its scope to the entire Arabian Peninsula, and is now resolutely oriented towards international research networks.

Arabian Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal. It is multilingual (articles published in French, English or Arabic, with abstracts in the two other languages), and freely available on internet.

Arabian Humanities intends, through biennial issues, to cover all areas of the humanities from prehistory to contemporary societies in the Arabian Peninsula. Constructed around a specific theme, each issue will also include independent articles and book reviews on the latest publications on the Arabian Peninsula appearing in European languages and Arabic.

The Open Journal of Archaeometry is a new, peer-reviewed, Open Access, international scientific journal published by PAGEPress Publications. It is devoted to the publication of research articles, short communications and review papers on every aspect of archaeometry. Archaeometry – also known as archaeological science – applies scientific techniques to the analysis of archaeological materials. Research topics mainly comprise the following disciplines and analyzing techniques:

• physical and chemical dating methods, e.g. 14C and luminescence dating, which provide archaeologists with numerical and relative chronologies;
• analyses of artifacts, concerning provenance, technology and types of use;
• environmental approaches, which provide information on past changes in landscape, climate, flora, and fauna;
• anthropological studies dealing with diet, nutrition, health, and pathology of people
• mathematical methods for data treatment including the role of computers in handling, analyzing, and modeling the vast sources of data;
• remote-sensing and geophysical-survey applications, and conservation sciences involving the study of decay processes and the development of new methods of conservation.

The Open Journal of Archaeometry may also host contextually relevant announcements, book reviews and abstracts from scientific meetings. Every article published in the Journal will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field and decided upon by members of the editorial board.
