For Scholars

The image collection of West Semitic Research (WSR) includes a wide variety of inscriptional, and some non-inscriptional, material, particularly in the languages and scripts of Northwest Semitic. The West Semitic Research Project launched its image database as an Internet database application, InscriptiFact, in 2004. That application is now closed, but all of the images that were on it, and many more, can be found in the USC Digital Library, InscriptiFact–an image database of inscriptions and artifacts.

These images are for study purposes only. Permission to publish must be obtained in writing from WSR and collaborating institutions and may involve additional charges.

The following is a listing of image collections in high-resolution digital form. Many are subject to arrangements with collaborating institutions. Scholars can use the links below to browse through the image lists.
