Modern technologies in photography, computer imaging and image databasing
are revolutionizing the study of ancient inscriptions, especially inscriptions
relevant to biblical and ancient Near Eastern studies from the origin of
the alphabet to the Dead Sea Scrolls. The focus will be especially
on the West Semitic Research and InscriptiFact Projects of the University
of Southern California and the efforts of scholars to rescue the data of
ancient texts and make them broadly available over the internet-before it
is too late.
