Dear Colleagues,
A couple of items of possible interest. In this "Book
Tour<https://libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/collections/collection-…
archaeologist Jack Davis writes about the AMFOGE maps in the John Miller Burnam Classics
Library at the University of Cincinnati and Karamanlidika experts Evangelia Balta and
Anastasia-Aglaia Lemos about thirteen books from the 18th and 19th centuries discovered in
the Library about a year ago. For notes on the discovery, see
blogpost<https://libapps.libraries.uc.edu/liblog/2022/07/new-discoveries…
from last year.
The other item of possible interest is the historic
journals<https://wisenba1.wixsite.com/moderngreekjournals> we have digitized so far
as part of the "Greek Digital Journal Archive." See also the repository of
digitized
journals<https://libraries.uc.edu/libraries/classics/collections/mod-gre…
at other institutions such as Harvard, etc. If any of you have scanned Greek journals from
the 19th and early 20th century and made them openly accessible, please let me know and
I'll add them to the growing GDJA repository. The Burnam Library journals have been
provided content notes by Chrysoula Kakarimpa, Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox
Church in Cincinnati, with additions by Nassos Papalexandrou, University of Texas at
Austin, and myself. I hope that we will be able to upload pdf's for all of the 45
journals on the WIX site and after that to digitize an additional five, and the
Karamanlidika material this summer.
We have also had some 600 Greek, U.S., and British army maps from WWI and WWII digitized
(including the AMFOGE maps). You can read about the project
here<https://libapps.libraries.uc.edu/liblog/2022/07/the-uc-classics-lib…d/>.
These maps were digitized by East View, so I'm afraid access is not free of charge.
To gain access, you must contact the company.
For questions about any of the above, please contact:
