The Project:
This project was designed as part of a digital humanities assignment for a graduate seminar on Roman Spectacles at the University of British Columbia. Due to the shifting nature of the fields of classics, archaeology, and languages, new ideas for the transmission of information should be addressed. With the development of technology and its increasingly widespread use it is evident that the world is changing. Therefore, it is important that our field be willing to change and grow with these developments. Below are a list of online digital humanities sources which have been used in the creation of this project. The tools utilized in this project represent only a fraction of the available tools for digital humanities, but they represent a starting point for those interested in experimenting with this new field.
