DIGITAL PROJECTS

Pompeii Artistic Landscape Project: The Pompeii Artistic Landscape Project (PALP) is an online resource, based in a Linked Open Data (LOD) format, to encourage sitewide discovery, mapping, analysis, and sharing of information about Pompeian artworks in their architectural contexts. The goal of PALP is to dramatically increase the number of researchers and members of the public who can access, analyze, interpret, and share the artworks of the most richly documented urban environment of the Roman world: Pompeii. PALP is generously funded by a grant form the Getty Foundation's Digital Art History initiative.

Pompeii Bibliography and Mapping ProjectThe Pompeii Bibliography and Mapping Project (PBMP) explores the ways in which physical landscapes can be employed to structure and examine the (metaphorical) disciplinary landscape of Pompeian studies. Specifically, we are working to map the landscape of publications about Pompeii onto the space of the ancient city itself, creating a unified, bi-directional interface to both resources. The PBMP was provided crucial funding from the American Council of Learned Societies, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
