An introduction to essential resources for Classics and Archaeology research
This training event, held in collaboration with specialist staff from the Combined Classics Library at the ICS, will provide an introduction to essential resources for research in the fields of Classics, Archaeology and Ancient History, along with highlighting less well-known and underutilised specialist databases and collections. It is recommended for undergraduate or graduate students embarking upon dissertation research, along with providing specialist tools for more advanced researchers.
Resources and topics covered include:
- Advanced use of catalogues, online dictionaries (e.g. OCD), lexicons, encyclopaedias (Brill’s New Pauly; LIMC), and abbreviations (OCD; L’Année philologique; papyri).
- The benefits of using online text-searching databases (e.g. Loeb Classical Library; PHI Latin; Greek TLG).
- Bibliographical resources (e.g. Zenon DAI; Gnomon datenbank).
- Resources for epigraphy and papyri (e.g. CIL; IG; ZPE; Eagle).
- How to find and use maps, gazetteers and topographical resources (e.g. Barrington Atlas; Pelagios).
Advance booking is required in order to receive the Zoom link.
