What is The Athenaeum?
The Athenaeum is building a set of online tools for studying the humanities. Whether you are an armchair historian, a teacher, or just someone with an interest in history, archaeology, philosophy, or the arts, we hope to provide new ways to explore and interact with all sorts of material. It is a never-ending quest, and we welcome your involvement. Take a moment, browse the site, and let us know what you think!

New artwork display page

Oops! We forgot to point out that the full view of artworks has been seriously upgraded, providing a nice uncluttered view that focuses on the image. You can also change the background to grey, black, or white depending on your preference. We think this is a much ore pleasant way to look at the images. Let us know what you think!

Apology for the downtime

We apologise for the downtime earlier today; one of our temp directories for image processing filled up, which stopped the web server. Hopefully it wasn't an inconvenience, and it has been fixed now.

Travelling for the next week

I will be travelling (yes, the British spelling) in East Africa for the next week, getting back home on the 22nd of January. I will have minimal internet access during that time. So if there are issues while I am gone, send me an e-mail through the Contact link, be patient, and I'll handle it when I get back.
