Inscriptions of Roman Cyrenaica (IRCyr)
The project aims to assemble an online corpus of all the material gathered by Prof Joyce Reynolds during her numerous visits to Libya. The project consists in the digitisation of some 2000 inscriptions from Roman Cyrenaica, nearly a third of which have never previously been published. The new corpus will be presented as a series of documents; but it will also link to an online map of Roman Cyrenaica, being prepared as part of the Pleiades project (http://www.unc.edu/awmc/pleiades.html).

Source material
Inscriptions themselves are in museums around the world or in situ in Libya. Typescripts of the epigraphic editions belong to Joyce Reynolds. Many photographs are in Reynolds' collection. More images are being provided by the British School at Rome from the Ward-Perkins Archive. Digital photographs are also being taken on site by the project team.
