The
Digital Image Project
The Digital Image Project
was created through a partnership between the Visual Resource Center
in the Art History Department and CMS. Its purpose is to create and
maintain a digital image database for pedagogical and archival purposes.

The
Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity
The
Oxford Dictionary of Late Antiquity will be a single-volume reference
book of 800,000 words, written by multiple experts and covering
all aspects of the years c. 250-750 AD in Europe, the Mediterranean
World and the Near East (including Persia and Ethiopia). The project
is based at the Center, Mr. Nicholson is its General Editor, and
he enjoys the help of Research Assistants and a couple of dozen
specialist Area Advisers. The book will benefit from the unrivaled
experience of the Oxford University Press in producing works of
reference. This projected was recently spotlighted
by the University of Minnesota Office of the Vice President for
Research.
