Ancient World Image Bank (AWIB)

The Ancient World Image Bank is a collaborative effort to distribute and encourage the sharing of free digital imagery for the study of the ancient world. ISAW started AWIB by distributing imagery donated by its faculty, staff, and students via Flickr under a Creative Commons Attribution (cc-by) license. You can view and download those images via the isawnyu flickr account. That means that all you have to do to reuse one of our images is cite it in the manner indicated below.

Please note: Pending a technology refresh and additional funding, AWIB is currently an inactive project and is not accepting new images at this time.

The effort has now expanded to include everyone interested in improving the free availability of ancient world imagery by way of the Ancient World Image Bank Flickr Group.

AWIB should be cited like a series or collection, as follows:
