In these pages, the John Rylands University Library, University of Manchester, and the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI), an international research project based at the University of California, Los Angeles, present a database of 1148 inscribed objects in the JRL collection. All texts were imaged with conventional photography using High Dynamic Range technology; for some 25 per cent of the available texts, Reflectance Transformation Imaging (RTI) was used with the assistance of a photo dome. Corresponding image files deriving from this procedure are now being prepared in Oxford for web presentation. The imaging in Manchester, and post-capture processing, were undertaken by Klaus Wagensonner (then University of Oxford; currently Yale University), made possible by funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation; they are part of the on-going mission of CDLI to ensure the long-term digital preservation of ancient inscriptions on cuneiform artifacts and, in furtherance of humanities research, to provide free global access to all available text data.
