Digital Collections: ISAW Library (NYU) Announces the Launch of the Digital South Caucasus Collection

From NYU Libraries:

The Library of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World announces the beta release of the Digital South Caucasus Collection.

The Digital South Caucasus Collection (DSCC) preserves and provides open access to historical, archaeological, and ethnographic scholarship on the ancient South Caucasus, a region that today roughly coincides with the geographical boundaries of the three countries of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia.

The DSCC is a collaboration between the Library of the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World (ISAW) at New York University (NYU) and two archaeological institutes in Georgia and Armenia, the Georgian National Museum and the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography in the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Armenia. In future phases the DSCC hopes to expand to include partners in Azerbaijan as well. The DSCC Discovery Portal is available as a beta release and open for public feedback.
