Image databases

Images are important for both research and teaching. For this reason, Institute staff and students have access to a range of helpful image databases. If you require access to any of these databases, please contact the Institute’s IT technician Ralf Pausz (Ralf.Pausz@univie.ac.at).

UNIDAM

The University of Vienna's media database UNIDAM includes a dedicated "Classical Archaeology" area (amongst other areas), which is accessible to all staff and students. The "Classical Archaeology" image pool mainly contains reproductions of professional image quality as well as the previously digitised parts of the slide collection. We are always happy to receive new images from research and teaching to expand UNIDAM! Instructions on how to set up, search and download images in UNIDAM can be found here - download PDF - and also linked within the database.

prometheus

The Institute of Classical Archaeology also has an institute licence for the digital image archive prometheus, which currently links 99 databases under one interface.

IKA Collections Database

The Institute's archaeological collection has its own database, which is freely accessible to teachers, researchers, students and all interested parties. Further information can be found here.
