Current Epigraphy reports news, events and publications in Greek and
Latin epigraphy.

CurEp publishes workshop and conference announcements; notices of
discoveries, publications and reviews; project reports; and descriptive
links to digital epigraphic projects. We owe our inspiration partly to
Gregg Schwendner, who single-handedly maintains the What's New in
Papyrology blog ( http://papyrology.blogspot.com/ ). Our goal is to
provide a similar service to the epigraphic community, but to do so in a
broadly collaborative way that invites contribution from a wide group of
scholars and enthusiasts.

Anyone with an academic interest in Greek or Latin epigraphy who might
have news to post, however occasional, is welcome to apply to become an
author of the CurEp news site; contact any of the editors for details.
If you have only a one-off piece of news, it is probably better to post
it to David Meadows' Inscriptiones-l list (where it will be seen and
noted), or to send it directly to any of the authors of CurEp.

Readers may learn of updates to CurEp in two ways:

1. Via XML web feeds: CurEp publishes web feeds in RSS 2.0, RSS 0.92 and
Atom 0.3 formats, which can alert users of feed reader software to blog
updates.

* Atom feed for posts: http://www.currentepigraphy.org/feed/atom/
* Atom feed for comments: http://www.currentepigraphy.org/comments/feed/

2. Via the inscriptiones-l email list (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Inscriptiones-l/ ): the editors of CurEp
regularly digest the most recent posts and comments, forwarding them to
the list (with permission of the list owner, David Meadows).
