Research Databases & Digital Collections

From the UCLA Library. 

One of the consequences of the Thirty Years’ War was that the most important collection of books in the seventeenth-century Holy Roman Empire, the Bibliotheca Palatina, was divided between two principal locations: Heidelberg and the Vatican. Since 2001, Heidelberg University Library has been working on several projects that aim to digitize parts of this great collection, the final goal being a complete virtual reconstruction of the “mother of all libraries.”

The Beazley Archive contains the world’s largest collection of photographs of ancient Greek painted pottery. The Classical Art Research Center provides also other resources, among others, Sir John Beazley’s digitized notebooks.

The image database of the Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (DAI) and the Archäologisches Institut der Universität zu Köln.
