The Spurlock Museum of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (SMUI), in collaboration with the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI), is pleased to present in these pages the results of a our efforts to digitize and disseminate all available documentation on SMUI’s extensive cuneiform collection. Wayne Pitard, Director of the Museum, provided the CDLI with a full concordance of the inscriptions, and Los Angeles staff began in March of 2010 with preparations for its digitization. In June, CDLI postdoctoral associate Lance Allred commenced with the capture of the collection, following procedures discussed in the methods pages of the CDLI. Raw images of Allred’s, and the subsequent work of UCLA graduate student Michael Heinle were processed to CDLI “fatcrosses” and added to the project’s existing web content on the text artifacts, including catalogue data and, in many cases, transliterations. We are grateful to the Andrew W. Mellon foundation for funding that made this successful collaboration possible. |
