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.

We seek to encourage the growth of a community of practice, which is open to everyone interested in the topic, regardless of skill or experience in technical matters, and language of contribution. To become a editor of the wiki, please contact one of the administrators. (The "create account" option has been disabled due to spam bots.) Consult the Wiki editing page to familiarize yourself with formatting conventions.

All information in this site is contributed by volunteer editors who participate pro bono and for the benefit of the community. They have no obligation to do more work than this, to add to or update pages over time, or to respond to requests to add new pages on your favourite project or tool. If you want to see something improved, the correct approach would be to request an account and edit it yourself. The Wiki, the editors, and the hosting institution shall bear no responsibility for damages resulting from omissions, obsolete information, or other inaccuracies in wiki articles. Always follow links to check information is accurate and up to date before acting on it. (All disclaimers made by Wikipedia also apply here.)

The Digital Classicist is hosted by the Institute of Classical Studies, University of London.
