The project uses the following types of data

It is also possible to copy and print the texts, drawings and schemes.
A special part of the program will allow its user to check the level of his own knowledge and to fill in the gaps in it
For the moment we have received from the author all the materials mentioned in our contract.
We would eagerly examine all the eventual proposals concerning the elaboration, publication and distribution of the project ART OF ANCIENT GREECE AND AEGEAN WORLD, as well as the whole ART OF THE ANCIENT WORLD series.
We are especially interested in offers of the primary illustrative material - books, albums, slides depicting the objects of art of Ancient Greece and Aegean World; we can buy or rent them for scanning and elaboration of their illustrative materials.
