The Archives of Classical Scholarship (ArCla) assembles a directory to the archival papers (archives) of American classicists and classical archaeologists.
A collaboration led by faculty at the University of Missouri's School of Information Science & Learning Technologies (SISLT, Sarah Buchanan) and Department of Classical Studies (David Schenker), this project is supported by a 2017 Richard Wallace Faculty Incentive Grant. Clarabelle Fields, BA 2018, serves as Research Assistant. Our ArCla Advisors are RL, LB, WB, and the late DS. Thank you to Rebecka Lindau, Larissa Bonfante, Hwasun Choe, and Nienke Boer for contributing to the dataset.
See the gh-pages branch. Thank you to Andromeda Yelton and GitHub
Version 1 of this project began at Princeton University (2005) and the University of South Carolina (2010), and related work continues now at Rutgers: https://dbcs.rutgers.edu/index.php
