with the Rockefeller College office, the New Media Center
redesigned their college web site with an eye toward usability,
updatability, and web standards. A key feature of the new

| The
Charette Project |
| The
internationally recognized Charrette Project, a hypertext
archive of the Old French poetry of Chretien de Troyes, was
developed for the late Professor Karl Uitti of Romance Languages.
Humanities Computing Research Support built a web database,
entitled Figura, to allow an international team of scholars
to annotate the 7000 line Charrette narrative, which
recounts the Arthurian legend of Sir Lancelot, for its rich
rhetorical figures. Researchers are now in the process of
initiating a new phase of Charrette scholarship based on the
statistical correlations of figures, grammar, and other linguistic
features of the text. |

|
| The
Geniza Project |
|
The Princeton Geniza Project, directed by Professor Mark Cohen
of Near Eastern Studies, has constructed a hypertext archive
of a large collection ancient documentary fragments written
in Hebrew script. Humanities Computing Research Support is
in the process of recoding the transcriptions of these fragments
(into Unicode) and placing them in a web-accessible database
to allow for data entry, browsing, searching and visualization. |
|
| |
| The
Shahnama Project |
| The
Shahnama Project as a hypertext archive of the the Persian
Shahnama, or “Book of Kings.” Based on Firestone’s
Garrett manuscript collection, the archive presents rich images
of folios along with links to a translation of the narrative
and an iconographic index of the miniatures contained in the
folios. The project was conceived of by the late Professor
Jerome Clinton of Near Eastern Studies. |

| The
Omiti Project |
| The
Omiti Project is the work of Professor Emmanuel Kreike of
History, whose exhaustive ethnographic surveys from rurual
northern South Africa have been entered into a database research
purposes. Humanities Computing Research Support created the
online data entry system which allowed students to convert
the paper surveys into database form. Currently HCRS is helping
Prof. Kreike conduct qualitative data analysis of the survey
material in order to extract a secondary database of people,
places, and things relevant to farming and ecology. A collection
of aerial photographs is also being added to the database
and will be linked to the place names. |

The video was such a hit at the luncheon, we created another
testimonial video the following year. |
