Ancient Lives project



Are you interested in papyrology?  Ancient Greek texts?  Want to learn about working with documents that are a thousand years old, and how to transcribe and measure them?  Then check out the Ancient Lives Project.

This project uses crowd source to help sort through thousands of documents that make up the Oxyrhynchus Papyri collection at Oxford University, only a small portion of which are available online.  A companion blog and Twitter feed can keep you current on how the project is moving along.
