About This Page

Here you will find links to useful web sites and advice on using them.  I recommend using Intute to search for web-based information and links rather than a general search engine, such as Google.  You will get fewer, better results for academic projects.

Evaluating Websites

Take the following tutorial to learn more about evaluating your web sources.

Evaluating Sources


 

 

Some useful websites

The Perseus Project is a very rich resource in the history and culture of ancient Greece. It includes texts, in the original Greek and in English translation, plans and photographs of archeological sites, images of Greek artifacts, secondary sources, and search tools, and links to other sites. Perseus is constantly expanding and now contains considerable content about Latin language and literature and Roman civilization.

Exploring Ancient World Cultures provides  primary sources in translation, some images, and selected essays on ancient China and India, as wel as Egypt, the Near East, Greece and Rome.

Diotima: Materials for the Study of Women and Gender in the Ancient World.

Digital Egypt for University Students. The title is self-explanatory. The site is sponsored by the Petrie Museum of Egyptology at University College, London.

The Ancient Greek World: a site built to accompany an exhibit of the same name at the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology

NetSerf: a large, searchable and browsable site for medieval studies.
