RESOURCES IN CLASSICS FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS

This list is a continuation of Resources in Art History for Graduate Students. The many archeological and conference opportunities for Classics Graduate Students prompted the idea to move these categories off into their own pages for the convenience of all interested readers. This will allow full postings of descriptions, so that the list may be printed out and passed around (Yes! You can do that with this! A little acknowledgement of the source is all I ask).

Don't forget to investigate the other pages here: Pre-Doctoral Grants and Fellowships, Calls for Papers, Study Abroad, and so on. Use the links at the top or bottom of this page.

Suggestions and observations are, as always, welcome.
