Classics Research

The resources for research in Classics at Oxford are unsurpassed anywhere in the world, and they enable Faculty members to conduct research over a remarkably wide range of subjects in classical languages, literature, history, art and archaeology. The traditional picture of research in Classics is of scholars working alone in a library; a great deal of such research continues to take place, of course, but alongside this collaborative projects are opening up fresh areas of study and making possible a new range of international and interdisciplinary contacts. Classics has many more projects funded by external bodies than any other humanities faculty.

Digital Humanities at Oxford

digital.humanities@oxford
This site provides a central information point about activities, resources and facilities in the Digital Humanities at Oxford. Find out about People, Projects, Support and Training, News and Events.

Digital technologies have the power to transform humanities research, making it easier and more efficient, enabling new ways of working, opening up new questions and creating new knowledge, or answering existing questions more fully and systematically. Among other things they provide

• integrated and accessible collections of dispersed research materials
• new ways of processing data, particularly large bodies of data
• new ways of representing data
• new connections between different types of data
• new desktop working environments
• support for collaboration, networking and community building
• new forms of output and dissemination

A full descriptive list of the different methodologies covered by the digital humanities can be found in the ICT Methods section of the website. As the Projects list illustrates, the Digital Humanities cover the full range of disciplines and a wide variety of data types: not just text but images (still and moving), sound, geographical information systems , virtual reality, and more.

Oxford Research Archive (ORA)

The Oxford University Research Archive (ORA) contains research publications and other research output produced by members of the University of Oxford. Content includes copies of journal articles, conference papers, theses and other types of research publications. The full text of many of these items is freely available to be used in accordance with copyright and end-user permissions.
The Oxford University Research Archive is a growing repository of Oxford research publications and is therefore not a complete record of the research output from the university. Members of the University of Oxford may deposit items in Oxford University Research Archive. It is likely that the ORA will be used for future RAEs.
