Monuments of Ancient Rome

An exhibition by Classics Graduates, 2011
The Roderic Bowen Library and Archives

The books of the Roderic Bowen Library and Archives are, like the streets and buildings of Rome, historical artefacts, revealing to the curious layer upon layer of Western European life, from classical antiquity to the dawn of the modern age. This exhibition uses a small selection of these treasures to illustrate the history of five key sites at Rome: the Colosseum, the Pantheon, Trajan's Column, the Circus Maximus and the Pyramid of Cestius.

Birth of modern China in massive online archive

8,000 rare photographs of Chinese life in the early twentieth century have just launched online through the Visualising China project, a unique virtual archive giving researchers new opportunities to explore and interact with images of China taken between 1850-1950.

The archive includes rare shots of the nationalist leader of China Chiang Kai-Shek among photographs taken by the Chinese ambassador to the USSR during World War Two, Fu Bingchang.

Funded by JISC, the project is a collaboration between the Web Futures team at the University of Bristol’s Institute for Learning and Research Technology (ILRT) and the Historical Photographs of China (HPC) team within the Department of Historical Studies.
