The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Royal Inscriptions (Institute of Ancient Studies, Eötvös L. University, Budapest)

http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/etcsri/

This site is something of a follow-up to the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature (see May 7, 2013 post). Here's the blurb from the home page:
The Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Royal Inscriptions (ETCSRI) project's main objective is the creation of an annotated, grammatically and morphologically analyzed, transliterated, trilingual (Sumerian-English-Hungarian), parallel corpus of all Sumerian royal inscriptions.

ETCSRI is to be developed at the Department of Assyriology and Hebrew Studies (Institute of Ancient Studies, Eötvös L. University, Budapest) by a research team led by Gábor Zólyomi as part of The Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus with the continuous assistance and help of Steve Tinney.
Funding for ETCSRI is provided by the Hungarian Scientific Research Fund (OTKA) between 2008.10.01 - 2013.06.30 (project no. K75104).
 For further information, see the site's "Introduction" page.

Expositions: Interdisciplinary Studies in the Humanities

http://expositions.journals.villanova.edu/index

This resource is a bit far from the focus of this blog, but may nevertheless be helpful. Here's the blurb from the home page:

Expositions is an on-line journal where scholars from multiple disciplines gather as colleagues to converse about common texts and questions in the humanities. Acting on the Augustinian principle that nothing human is foreign to the sympathetic heart, we seek articles, interdisciplinary exchanges, and briefer notes and insights that benefit teaching, research, and the life of the academy.
Expositions provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
