In these pages, the Michael C. Carlos Museum Emory University, and the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI), an international research project based at the University of California, Los Angeles, present a database of 326 inscribed objects in the Carlos collection. Following a series of e-mail communications among CDLI and Emory staff that led to the creation of an updated catalogue of inscribed artifacts, the texts were imaged in November 2012 by Nicholas Reid from CDLI’s Oxford group, employing primarily conventional CDLI flatbed scanning procedures; the heavy bricks and brick fragments were photographed separately by Reid, and professional images of the collection’s two inscribed stone pieces were made available to CDLI courtesy of the Museum. Post-capture fatcrosses were created by UCLA staff. This effort was made possible by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and is part of the on-going mission of CDLI to ensure the long-term digital preservation of ancient inscriptions on cuneiform tablets, and, in furtherance of humanities research, to provide free global access to all available text artifact data. |
