“Sumerian is the name given to the agglutinative language spoken in southern Iraq in ancient times and written down in cuneiform script from the end of the 4th millennium BC onwards when it was used to record firstly economic transactions and then literary and religious texts. This excellent website provides a substantial online guide to many aspects of Sumerian language, culture, history and archaeology including: a lexicon of logogram and compound words with an accompanying bibliography of works on Sumerian language and linguistics; a guide to the origin of the Sumerian proto-language; a note on the development of the cuneiform writing system from counters and tally stones used in early administrative systems; a useful series of FAQs pertaining to Sumerian language and culture; a map of Neolithic and Chalolithic sites in southern Iraq; a very extensive page of weblinks to online resources in Near Eastern studies.”  (cit. da Humbul)

RUSKIN PROJECT - Digitising Ruskin’s Teaching Collection at the Ashmolean Museum

http://www.ashmol.ox.ac.uk/ash/amulets/ruskin/

"The University of Oxford owns the majority of the teaching collections assembled by John Ruskin (1819-1900) in the third quarter of the nineteenth century. The material is in the care of the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology...The project will create a catalogue, linked to digitised images, of John Ruskin’s Teaching Collection held in the Ashmolean Museum.
This will be made available free of charge via the Web as a fully searchable and browsable on-line database which will allow analysis of the collections, Ruskin’s comments upon them, and the catalogues, presenting all these aspects of the collection as a single resource. In particular, the drawings will be cross-linked to Ruskin’s own notes on how they should be used for teaching and research. As some of the original collections have now been dispersed under individual artist categories, this project will seek to reassemble them virtually." (cit. dal web propr.)

PRINT AND CENSORSHIP IN ELIZABETHAN SOCIETY

http://apm.brookes.ac.uk/publishing/contexts/elizabet/contents.htm

"This web site, Print and Censorship in Elizabethan Society, looks at the controls on the press during the Elizabeth I's rule, and in particular during the years when the Elizabethan Religious Settlement was established. Many facets of the printing trade and the censorship it faced are covered, with chapters on the legislation passed to control the press, the measures taken to ensure that censorship was enforced, and printing and press organisations, and the role played by groups such as the Stationer's Company.”  (cit. da Humbul)

INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH ON DISCOURSE, POLITICS AND IDENTITY

http://www.oeaw.ac.at/wittgenstein/

"The research centre “Discourse, Politics and Identity” is interdisciplinary and is based on many years of investigations at the Institute of Linguistics (University of Vienna) on the relationship between language and society. The work of the Wittgenstein research centre focuses on the numerous interactive relationships between discourse, politics and identity in present day society. Phenomena of globalization on the one hand and fragmentation on the other cast doubt on the growing identities of groups, institutions and states. In political discourse, different explanations of these phenomena are given that manifest themselves in a globalisation and competitiveness rhetoric and, moreover, in a particularism, populism, “Heimat” rhetoric and racism."

TUDOR HACKNEY

http://learningcurve.pro.gov.uk/tudorhackney/default.asp

"This excellent web site, developed by the Hackney Archives Department, the National Archives Learning Curve team, and Immediate Theatre with funding from the New Opportunities Fund, delves into the history of Hackney during Elizabethan times. Tudor Hackney is a completely interactive resource, and features a virtual reality reconstruction of Hackney in 1601, and an impressive video drama 'The Dysasters and Misfortunes of John and Jane Daniell', which is based upon records of the couple housed in the Hackney Archives. Both the virtual reality tour and the video require downloads, which are free and can be accessed from the site. In addition to these resources, the site also features an exploration of Hackney during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and the surrounding parishes of Shoreditch and Stoke Newington. The topics covered include notable local people, local government and the poor, the law, crime and punishment, transport links and infrastructure, and hospitals and medical care. All the text is accompanied with illustrations, and facsimile images of primary source material, and this digitised material can also be browsed separately in the Picture Gallery.”  (cit. da Humbul)

UNIVERSITY ENGLISH

http://www.university-english.com/

"University-English provides a number of public-access databases and lists which facilitate finding people and resources of interest to scholars and amateurs of "English" literatures. All the databases are provided with sophisticated indexing so that users can create narrow or general searches for the agencies most likely to satisfy their interests.
Our Departments database lists over 2400 university departments which teach English and allied subjects (for example cultural studies, journalism and media studies). It can be searched by department name, by town or city, by country, by region, or by undergraduate or postgraduate course. It can therefore be especially useful to students who are interested in locating graduate programmes relevant to their particular needs.
Our Publishers database provides editorial and marketing contacts in major houses, but also seeks to enable people to find smaller and more specialist publishers, and publishers of journals which might in effect be university departments or scholarly associations. There are currently 428 listings in this table." (cit. dal web propr.)

ELEVENTH-CENTURY ANGLO-SAXON GLOSSARY FROM MS. BRUSSELS, ROYAL LIBRARY 1650 - Edition and source study

http://www.wmich.edu/medieval/rawl/porter1/porter.html

"This is an electronic paper written by Professor David Porter, Department of English, Southern University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in December 1995. The paper is a corollary of a National Endowment for the Humanities seminar directed by Paul E. Szarmach in Summer 1995 at Western Michigan University. The research project is affiliated with the Richard Rawlinson Center for Anglo-Saxon Study and Manuscript Research at Western Michigan University. The paper presents an electronic version of the glossary text to the Aldhelm's <i>De virginitate</i> manuscript held at the Bibliotheque Royale Albert I-er, Bruxelles [MS Brussels, RL 1650, folio 55v].
The Brussels glossary, as this text is known, is shown here in three formats: as a diplomatic transcription, as a semi-diplomatic edition showing expanded abbreviations, and as a standard edition with abbreviations silently expanded. Each version appears in parallel columns alongside the manuscript original. A scholarly discussion on the contents of the glossary, the sources used by the scribe to compile the glossary, related texts by the same scribe, and the manuscript setting of the glossary follows.”  (cit. da Humbul)

THE ABERDEEN BESTIARY PROJECT

http://www.abdn.ac.uk/bestiary/index.hti

"The Aberdeen Bestiary (Aberdeen University Library MS 24) is considered to be one of the best examples of its type. The manuscript, written and illuminated in England around 1200, is of added interest since it contains notes, sketches and other evidence of the way it was designed and executed.
The entire manuscript has been digitised using Photo-CD technology, thus creating a surrogate, while allowing greater access to the text itself. The digitised version, offering the display of full-page images and of detailed views of illustrations and other significant features, is complemented by a series of commentaries, and a transcription and translation of the original Latin."

GUIDA GENERALE DEGLI ARCHIVI DI STATO ITALIANI
"La modalità più immediata di accesso a questa versione informatica della Guida è lo scorrimento della sua struttura informativa gerarchica, analogamente a come si opererebbe sui volumi a stampa, partendo dalla scelta di uno specifico Archivio di stato o Sezione,arrivando poi, attraverso la consultazione dell' albero-sommario, ad individuare le partizioni storiche o tipologiche corrispondenti ai propri interessi, e proseguendo in questa selezione progressiva attraverso le eventuali strutturazioni fino all'unità   informativa desiderata (fondo o serie).
Unitamente a questa tipologia di consultazione, che si consiglia vivamente onde acquisire familiarità con la struttura informativa della Guida, vengono offerte tre modalità di ricerca che si propongono di corrispondere esaurientemente alle diverse esigenze dei potenziali fruitori della Guida on-line, cui si offre la possibilità di muoversi nel sistema attraverso l'indicazione di precisi termini ovunque presenti nel testo (RICERCA PER PAROLA), oppure richiedendone la presenza in relazione a campi precisati (RICERCA GUIDATA), o, infine, inserendo termini o frasi di ricerca più elaborate (booleane) opzionalmente circoscrivibili a contesti predefiniti (RICERCA AVANZATA)."

MEDIEVAL MANUSCRIPTS IN FACSIMILE
"Up until the end of the Middle Ages, when the art of printing first allowed a measure of mass production, books were made by hand one a a time. Every manuscript is therefore unique: even when the scribes and artists copied a model text or image, the result is marked by their own taste and training, not to mention the wishes of their patron. The medieval manuscripts that survive are also precious because of the mere fact of being old; they are witnesses to a culture which prevailed a long time ago (from about AD 500 to AD 1500) and strongly influenced the world in which we now live. In addition to transmitting the texts which interested people at that time, many of these manuscripts still provide much aesthetic pleasure, due to their fine layout and script, and of course, the illuminations.
Not all manuscripts were as beautiful as those represented in this exhibit. Most of them were simply functional, and quite plain; they are sometimes so full of abbreviations as to be unintelligible except to those familiar with the handwriting and the conventions of the particular scribe. With the exception of reproductions intended strictly for specialized scholarly use -- which are also represented here -- facsimile copies of medieval materials have concentrated on the illuminated manuscripts, so that the visual impressions created by this exhibit will, of necessity, largely reflect the wealthy classes during the Middle Ages ."

 ISAAR(CPF) - International Standard Archival Authority Record for Corporate Bodies, Persons and Families
Versione finale approvata dal Consiglio Internazionale degli Archivi. Elaborato dalla Commissione ad hoc sugli Standards Descrittivi.
Traduzione ufficiale in italiano della versione originale in lingua inglese a cura del Servizio documentazione e pubblicazioni archivistiche del Min. Beni Culturali.
"Nelle iniziative di normalizzazione finora intraprese, la comunità archivistica internazionale ha riconosciuto che è importante presentare con efficacia gli elementi che compongono le descrizioni. I più importanti fra questi elementi sono quelli connessi al contesto di produzione della documentazione archivistica...Lo scopo principale di questo documento è dare regole generali per stabilire record d’autorità archivistici che descrivano enti, persone, famiglie che possano essere identificati come soggetti produttori nelle descrizioni di documentazione archivistica. E’ da ritenersi che i record che saranno il risultato dell’applicazione delle regole possano servire sia a normalizzare la forma del nome dei soggetti produttori che ad illustrarne compiutamente le caratteritiche necessarie a comprendere il contesto di produzione dei relativi complessi di documentazione archivistica.
Un record d’autorità archivistico conforme a questo standard può anche servire a controllare la forma del nome e ad identificare un ente, persona, o famiglia, nominata all’interno di una chiave d’accesso che si riferisce al soggetto di un’unità di descrizione...Questo standard determina le tipologie di informazioni che dovrebbero essere comprese in un record d’autorità archivistico."

CSEL - Commission for Editing the Corpus of the Latin Church Fathers
"The Kommission zur Herausgabe des Corpus der lateinischen Kirchenväter (Commission for Editing the Corpus of the Latin Church Fathers) (CSEL), is another of the many divisions of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Founded in 1864, the CSEL specialises in research on, and the publication of, notable medieval texts. A Critical Editions series highlights the work of Christian Latin authors from late Antiquity to the early medieval period. Volumes published thus far are listed and alphabetised according to author. An accompanying description of current projects outlines forthcoming editions, including: St. Augustine ; St. Ambrose ; St. Jerome ; the monastic rules; and other works up to Bede the Venerable, who died in 735. The site explains that the CSEL also reprints its earlier publications which are now out of print, such as the Letters of St. Jerome.
Main projects of the CSEL mentioned on the site are the Specimina eines Lexicon Augustinianum, which provides a lexicon of terms essential to Augustinian thought ; and Die handschriftliche Überlieferung der Werke des Heiligen Augustinus (The Manuscript Tradition of the Works of St. Augustine).
The CSEL also co-edits Wiener Studien, a journal for classical philology, patristics and Latin studies, which is published by the Press of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. Tables of contents are listed going back to 1995, and there is a link to the Press's site with subscription information. Related monographs published on the basis of authors' work with the CSEL editions are also mentioned. There are two extensive links sites, which connect to topical sites and to sites of other institutes prominent in this field. Navigation throughout the site is clear and straightforward”  (cit. da Humbul)
