Dr. M. Cristina de la Escosura Balbás of the University of Zaragoza is an Arthur E. Gordon fellow at the Center, working on her project: 

Research (Tool) Project: Linking Center’s Collection from Rome to EDR – Epigraphic Database Roma

"The aims of my project are, on the one hand, linking the photos and squeezes of the Center for Epigraphical and Palaeographical Studies collections coming from Rome with EDR. On the other hand, I intend to revise and update the digitalization of that specific part of the CEPS' collection  because, nowadays, not all the inscriptions belonging to every collection are available online. With this project, I will be able to connect the two databases making any research project simpler, improving both EDR and the OSU Knowledge Bank. In any record coming from the Gordons’ collection at OSU there would be a link to all the epigraphic information corresponding to the inscription through EDR. In any EDR record, there would be a link to the photo and/or squeeze of the OSU collection. Additionally, this would provide the two databases additional visibility in the academic community."

Please help us welcome Cristina to Ohio State!
