Getty Research Portal

Getty Research Portal
The Getty Research Portal™ is an online search platform providing global access to digitized art history texts in the public domain. Through this multilingual, multicultural union catalog, scholars can search and download complete digital copies of publications for the study of art, architecture, material culture, and related fields. The Portal is free to all users.

The Getty Research Institute is spearheading this international collaboration with libraries that are digitizing art history books, thereby making their resources accessible to a larger audience. Initial contributors include the Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library at Columbia University, the Biblioteca de la Universidad de Málaga, the Frick Art Reference Library, the Getty Research Institute, the Heidelberg University Library, the Institut national d'histoire de l'art, members of the New York Art Resources Consortium, and the Thomas J. Watson Library at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. This collaborative project will continue to grow through contributions.
The Getty Research Portal has the potential to revolutionize how art historians conduct research by widening the availability of rare books, early foundational literature, and important periodicals from libraries across the world. It will especially benefit students and scholars without access to a major art history library.

Libraries and other organizations interested in becoming contributors to the Portal may contact portal@getty.edu.

Digital Resources for Religion in Late Antiquity

Hieroi Logoi: Digital Resources for Religion in Late Antiquity
This blog is about the rich and bewildering variety of online resources for the even richer and more bewildering variety of religions in Late Antiquity.  Hieroi Logoi, or “Sacred Discourses,” were tales of great ritual and mythological importance, both written and unwritten, from the Graeco-Roman world (the Mediterranean and its satellite regions); Jews and Christians sometimes used this term to describe their own scriptures.  Hieroi Logoi were frequently intended for a restricted community, but they also excited great interest outside the boundaries of their intended audience.

The purpose of this blog is to discover and review all websites relevant to the study of the religions of Late Antiquity, here understood broadly as the period between Alexander the Great (3rd century BCE) and Muhammad (6th-7th century CE).  My goal is gradually to create a centralized information portal on this subject, extensively categorized and tagged, for scholarly research and teaching, as well as the interested public.  Some of these sites are well known, others obscure; some straightforward to use, others difficult; some are well-funded collaborative efforts, others are more informal.  Caveat lector!  But all have their interest.  If you have suggestions for sites to be reviewed, please contact me.

Open Access Journal: Hyperboreus

Hyperboreus
ISSN: 0949-2615
Hyperboreus was founded by the Bibliotheca classica Petropolitana in 1994 as the first academic journal in Russia since the 1917 revolution specializing in the field of classical studies. Scholars from the Classical Department of St. Petersburg State University, the St. Petersburg Institute of History (Russian Academy of Sciences) and St. Petersburg classical Gymnasium participated in the foundation of the journal. The editors value highly the support and advice of many Western European and American scholars during the foundation and subsequent activities of Hyperboreus.


The aims of Hyperboreus are to advance the study of classical antiquity in Russia and to encourage international cooperation in this field by publishing original articles and reviews of books in Russian, English, German, French, Italian, and Latin. The editors invite contributions in all areas of classical scholarship (language and literature, history, philosophy and sciences, papyrology, epigraphy, archaeology, arts) based primarily on the interpretation of classical sources.

Hyperboreus also aims at throwing light upon archaeological excavations of the classical sites on the Northern coast of the Black Sea region.
Hyperboreus, основанный Античным кабинетом. в 1994 г., является первым в России после закрытия ЖМНП (1917) научным журналом, специально посвященным изучению классической древности. В создании журнала важную роль играли сотрудники кафедры классической филологии Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета и Санкт-Петербургской классической гимназии. Ученые-антиковеды ряда западноевропейских и американских университетов и научных центров оказали неоценимую поддержку при учреждении журнала и в ходе его становления.

Журнал стремится содействовать развитию всех областей антиковедения и укреплению международного научного сотрудничества, ставя своей целью публикацию высококвалифицированных ранее не издававшихся исследований и критических рецензий на русском, латинском, английском, немецком, французском и итальянском языках. Приветствуется публикация в журнале отечественными учеными своих исследований на западноевропейских языках. Журнал принимает статьи по всем разделам антиковедения — классическим языкам и литературе, античной истории, истории философии и науки, эпиграфике, папирологии, археологии и истории искусства, — отдавая предпочтение исследованиям, в основе которых лежит анализ источников. Редакция с готовностью предоставляет страницы журнала для рецензий на научные труды по антиковедению. 

«Hyperboreus» стремится освещать результаты археологических исследований в Северном Причерноморье.
