Abstract

Michigan University owns one of the world's largest collection of ancient papyri and, in 1991, initiated a project to explore the use of image capture using electronic media scanners as a preservation and dissemination tool. The Michigan Papyri Digitization Project aimed to create a detailed online catalogue for researchers into the ancient Mediterranean world. The project team creted a WWW home page and made available sample images as a means of soliciting comments from experts in the field of papyrology. Notes the hardware and software selected for the task and sets out the steps taken to create the image database. Concludes with plans for the formation of an Advanced Papyrological Information System
