The Digital Classicist Wiki

The Digital Classicist is a hub for scholars, students, professionals and others interested in the application of digital humanities or computational methods to the study or dissemination of the global ancient world·s. This wiki catalogues digital projects and tools of relevance to classicists, guidelines and discussion around technical issues, and events, bibliographies and other developments in the field. A discussion group serves as grist for a list of Frequently Asked Questions. As members of the community provide answers and other suggestions, some of these may graduate into independent wiki articles providing work-in-progress guidelines, or separately published articles or reports.
