Gutenberg's invention of typography eventually revolutionized the world of text production and distribution. But the printing craft did not produce an immediate ... explosion. The first two decades of European printing have a pace of their own, and these years contain long overlooked mysteries, which stood in the shadow of such famous monuments as the Gutenberg Bible and the 1457 Mainz Psalter.

Additional Study/Research Aids

In addition to the above structure the following may be of interest to educators and students.

1. This project is both very large and fairly old in Internet terms. At the time it was begun (1996), it was not clear that web sites [and the documents made available there] would often turn out to be transient. As a result there is a process called "link rot" - which means that a "broken link" is a result of someone having taken down a web page. Efforts are made to remove all dead links, but new link problems do come up.

2. All links to documents marked [At this Site] should be working. 3. Users may attempt to locate texts not currently available, or where the links have changed via The Internet Archive/Way Back Machine. Alternately, a search via Google may locate another site where the document is available.

Introduction

The Internet Modern History Sourcebook is one of series of history primary sourcebooks. It is intended to serve the needs of teachers and students in college survey courses in modern European history and American history, as well as in modern Western Civilization and World Cultures. Although this part of the Internet History Sourcebooks Project began as a way to access texts that were already available on the Internet, it now contains hundreds of texts made available locally.

The great diversity of available sources for use in modern history classes requires that selections be made with great care - since virtually unlimited material is available. The goals here are:

To present a diversity of source material in modern European, American, and Latin American history, as well as a significant amount of materal pertinent to world cultures and global studies. A number of other online source collections emphasize legal and political documents. Here efforts have been made to include contemporary narrative accounts, personal memoirs, songs, newspaper reports, as well as cultural, philosophical, religious and scientific documents. Although the history of social and cultural elite groups remains important to historians, the lives of non-elite women, people of color, lesbians and gays are also well represented here.

To present the material as cleanly as possible, without complicated hierarchies and subdirectories. What you get here is direct access to significant documents, not the efforts of some whizkid "website designer". In other words, we are interested here in the music, not the Hi-fi!.

Within the major sections, to indicate a few high quality web sites for further source material and research.

Sources of Material Here

The texts on these pages come from many sources:

Files posted to various places on the net. In some cases, the source URL no longer exists.

Shorter texts created for class purposes by extracting from much larger texts.

Texts scanned in from printed material. In some cases the printed book may be recent, but the material scanned is out of copyright.

Texts sent to me for inclusion.

Links to other online texts. External links sometimes cease to work. An effort has been made to provide a back-up link to an impression of such texts at the Internet Archive.

Efforts have been made to confirm to US Copyright Law. Any infringement is unintentional, and any file which infringes copyright, and about which the copyright claimant informs me, will be removed pending resolution.

NOTES:

The Internet Modern History Sourcebook is part of the Internet History Sourcebooks Project. The date of inception was 1998. Links to files at other site are indicated by [At some indication of the site name or location]. WEB indicates a link to one of small number of high quality web sites which provide either more texts or an especially valuable overview.

The Site Concept and Design: created 26 Jan 1996: latest revision 15 May 2023 [ Internet History Sourcebooks Project is located at the History Department of Fordham University, New York. The Internet Medieval Sourcebook, and other medieval components of the project, are located at the Fordham University Center for Medieval Studies.The IHSP recognizes the contribution of Fordham University, the Fordham University History Department, and the Fordham Center for Medieval Studies in providing web space and server support for the project. The IHSP is a project independent of Fordham University. Although the IHSP seeks to follow all applicable copyright law, Fordham University is not the institutional owner, and is not liable as the result of any legal action. Paul Halsall CV]

Ancient Graffiti

Welcome to The Ancient Graffiti Project, a digital resource for locating and studying handwritten inscriptions of the early Roman empire. These ancient messages and sketches offer a window into the daily life and interests of the people who lived in the ancient world, especially in Herculaneum and Pompeii. They provide perspectives on Roman society, the ancient economy, religion, spoken language, literacy, and activities within the ancient city.

(N.B. The word "graffiti" was originally a technical term for ancient handwritten wall-inscriptions that were scratched into wall plaster. The term later came to mean any writing on a wall.)

Welcome

The aim of AGP is to allow scholars and the public to explore ancient handwritten wall-inscriptions and to understand them in context. We have designed AGP to be a user-friendly resource. We provide maps to help viewers understand where graffiti appeared in the ancient city and we offer our own translations and brief summaries of the graffiti. Try out the maps above, browse around, or begin a search.

We hope you enjoy exploring the Ancient Graffiti Project and learning more about the ancient world!

Scholarly Editions

The inscriptions presented here are our critical editions of the ancient texts, many of which offer updates to the Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum. We provide information on how to cite our editions in each entry. We have compiled up-to-date bibliography, a critical apparatus, and links to further information, and we include photographs from our fieldwork as well as the enhanced photographs and line-drawings we have created in order to accurately represent the inscriptions and make them legible to modern viewers.

We are pleased to contribute our editions to the Epigraphic Database Roma and EAGLE, the Europeana network of Ancient Greek and Latin Epigraphy. For linked open data and teaching materials, please see the Resources menu above.

The Archives parlementaires is a chronologically-ordered edited collection of sources on the French Revolution. It was conceived in the mid 19th century as a project to produce a definitive record of parliamentary deliberations and also includes letters, reports, speeches, and other first-hand accounts from a great variety of published and archival sources. FRDA currently contains the AP volumes covering the years 1787-1794, which can be searched using ARTFL's PhiloLogic 4 open source software platform. The texts have been marked up using TEI so that speakers, places, dates, and terms in the published index can be easily found. Users can see both scanned images of the AP pages or just the texts.

The 5,126 images selected from the BnF collections for this digital archive concentrate solely on the period from 1787 through 1799, from the years immediately preceding the outbreak of the Revolution through the emergence of Napoleon. Only visual materials directly tied to the Revolution itself are included. The creators of the initial incarnation of the Images anticipated that scholars would use them for their research and teaching purposes, and that the public at large would find in them an important way of learning more about this foundational moment for the French nation. Detailed metadata exists for the images, so that researchers can search by artist, subject, genre, and place. Users can also browse and search within different themes.

The data available on this site is the product of data cleaning performed by ARTFL (The Project for American and French Research on the Treasury of the French Language) at the University of Chicago. As a result, these XML files contain fewer OCR errors and more consistent markup than the materials currently searchable through the FRDA interface. Work is currently underway to disambiguate names with the XML corpus, linking each name to an individual. Many of these individuals (the parliamentarian deputies) are associated with biographical metadata in a database developed by the Service de la Bibliothèque et des Archives de l'Assemblée nationale.

Archival material relating to the formal admission of women to the University of Oxford, including admissions records, annual reports, calendars, photographs, scrapbooks, minutes and letters.

October 2020 marked one-hundred years since women were granted the right to matriculate and therefore to take degrees at Oxford. Despite the significance of this landmark year, women had studied at the University long before 1920. In fact, they had been making their mark on the University and advocating for women's access to an Oxford education since the 1860s.

Education and Activism: Women at Oxford, 1878-1920, is a digital archive project that commemorates the centenary year by bringing together records of the former women's colleges (Lady Margaret Hall, Somerville, St Anne's, St Hilda's and St Hugh's) into a central digital archive. Through the digitization of more than 7,000 archival images, this project will change the way that we understand and research the history of higher education in Oxford, the United Kingdom and beyond.
