http://www.indiana.edu/~vwhl/  3D has become a new and powerful form of scholarly expression and communication. The mission of the Virtual World Heritage Laboratory is to apply these new tools not only as interactive illustrations but also as heuristic instruments of discovery. The scope of our interests – as implied by the phrase “World Heritage” – includes the entire human record. The focus of our investigations, as is suggested by the phrase “Virtual World” – is the 3D scientific simulation and how it can make possible experiences and experiments that – short of time travel – would otherwise not be possible.

http://dlib.etc.ucla.edu/projects/Forum  From 1997 to 2003 the UCLA Cultural Virtual Reality Laboratory (CVR Lab) created a digital model of the Roman Forum as it appeared in late antiquity.

From 2002 to 2005, with generous support from the National Science Foundation, the CVRLab was able to create this Web site about the digital Forum model. The purposes of this site are to use the Internet to permit free use and easy viewing of the digital model by people all over the world; to provide documentation for the archaeological evidence and theories utilized to create the model; and to offer basic information about the individual features comprising the digital model so that their history and cultural context can be readily understood.

https://digitalorientalist.com  The Digital Orientalist. This weblog was created to share my experience using digital tools in the Humanities. I am myself working on the history of Islamic philosophy, which is usually considered to be a sub-field of Islamic Studies. Eric van Lit, I mainly study Islamic philosophical texts from the medieval period. In particular, I investigate their intertextuality to better understand the mechanics of production and transmission of intellectual thought in the Islamic world. I draw especially from the notion of ‘Distant Reading’, that is, “understanding literature not by studying particular texts, but by aggregating and analyzing massive amounts of data.” This allows me to develop a method to navigate the ocean of unread literature from the Late Medieval and Early Modern period. I further explore the notion of ‘commentary traditions;’ sets of texts from disparate socio-historical contexts that have in common that they all are commentaries on a particular text or author. Such commentary traditions give interesting dissections of this large, unexplored period.

http://syri.ac/digimss Syri.ac is an annotated bibliography of Syriac resources online. This site is a comprehensive annotated bibliography of open-access resources related to the study of Syriac. Syriac manuscripts online is a page that collected and organized all the dispersed and sometimes hard-to-find Syriac manuscript catalogs. That page, which provides direct links to PDFs of those catalogs, has proved useful to many scholars who would not otherwise have access to all of them in one place at their local libraries. However, since creating that page, several collections of Syriac manuscripts have been digitized and made freely available online. We have endeavored here to create a complimentary resource that offers direct access to digitized manuscripts around the world. We hope this new tool will provide further avenues of research in fields which utilize Syriac, Arabic, and Garshuni.
