About the Project
LATE ANTIQUE EGYPTIAN TEXTILES AT BOSTON COLLEGE is an open-access digital catalog of the McMullen Museum of Art's Tellalian Collection. Created with public access in mind, the website author has sought to provide a digital space in which anyone, regardless of expertise, may access images of and information related to these beautiful objects.
This website was created in Spring 2022 in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Digital Humanities Certificate program offered by the Departments of English and History at Boston College. Like all good digital scholarship, this website is a constantly evolving work-in-progress. Additions and changes will continue to be made as new information is acquired, new research is performed, and new writing is penned. The author looks forward to forthcoming updates, as well as future opportunities to collaborate with students, scholars, and anyone else interested in the spectacular Telllalian Collection.
