With over 10,000 individual fragments on hand, the University of Michigan is home to one of the largest collections of papyri in the world. Through their webpage they hope to provide the public with access not only to our own papyrological collections but to many other papyrological resources as well. Currently you can search approximately 2,500 papyri images. Another fascinating link is to The Medieval Review. Since 1993, The Medieval Review (formerly the Bryn Mawr Medieval Review) has been publishing reviews of current work in all areas of Medieval Studies, a field it interprets as broadly as possible. The electronic medium allows for very rapid publication of reviews, and provides a computer searchable archive of past reviews, both of which are of great utility to scholars and students around the world. These are just two of the hundreds of splendid resources you can access via the Classics and Mediterranean Archeaology web site.
