Reposted from the ISAW Library blog (post by Jasmine Smith) With the spread of Covid-19, institutions related to the study of antiquity are finding new and creative ways to continue to engage with their communities and wider audiences. Most institutions are of course turning to technology to create virtual events and experiences that users can enjoy from wherever they are so long as they have an internet connection. These include virtual conferences, museum exhibits, and even virtual tours of ancient places. The ISAW Library staff have attended various virtual events. For instance, the annual meetings of the Association of Ancient Historians and the American Research […] more

Making the study of ancient papyri self-sustainable: we are on the right track In the last six months, $162,523 have been raised towards making papyri.info self-sustainable! This is more than 6.5% of the 2.5 million dollars we need to secure the future of a tool used daily by scholars, students, and members of the general public from all over the world. Papyrology is the science of deciphering and interpreting the books and documents—hundreds of thousands of them—preserved from the ancient world. The bulk of this material was written on papyrus and was found in Egypt; the main language of the texts is […] more

Blogpost contributed by Michael Konieczny, Ph.D. Classics, Harvard 2019 Most of the writing I have done has taken the form of academic papers, student evaluations, and job applications (the worst!): the blog post is a new genre for me, so I apologize in advance if I don’t get it quite right. I’ve been asked to write about the Center for Hellenic Studies from the perspective of someone who has just recently completed their Ph.D. in Classics (I graduated from Harvard in May of 2019); in addition, I will talk about some of my work for the Open Greek and Latin […] more

Challenges and Changes in Publishing, Spotlight on Classical Studies Part II: Multi-modal Publishing in the Humanities

March 21, 2020 Posted by Rebecca Stuhr under Professional Development, Publishing
2 Comments

Read Part I Multi-modality is unavoidable when researching the ancient world. Scholars rely on primary evidence derived from multiple physical and virtual formats. How can we represent this cornucopia of possible evidence in a way that makes it intuitive for an audience and that is affordable for publishers? Libraries offer one solution through their institutional repositories (IRs). IRs can handle multiple media formats from music samples, to 3D imagery, to video, to interactive maps. IRs notably provide permanent links and DOIs for digital artifacts, and their best practices include long-term storage, accessibility, and portability. Scholars and publishers can work with […] more

Part I: Challenges and Changes in Humanities Publishing with a spotlight on Classical Studies

This post originates from my contribution to the 2020 SCS Panel on Humanities Publishing organized by Deborah Stewart and sponsored by the FCSLSC I have spent the entirety of my career in collections. My first position was at the University of Kansas. I had a typewriter to produce order slips and I remember hauling around the volumes of the German books in print. Our collections were in print, we worked from card catalogs, and we had a microfiche catalog for journals. We had one dedicated OCLC terminal, and we offered mediated database searching at cost, with no screen, a printer, […] more
