Digital Latin Library
“The Digital Latin Library (DLL) is a joint project of the Society for Classical Studies, the Medieval Academy of America, and the Renaissance Society of America. The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation’s Scholarly Communications Program funds the project, and the University of Oklahoma hosts it.
We use the word “library” to describe our project because that word’s many meanings apply to what we’re building: a library of texts and resources, a place where individuals and groups can study and collaborate on projects, a series of volumes published according to a uniform standard, and resources for digital applications.”

2015–2017
In January, the OU DLL team submitted a proposal to the AWMF for a two-year implementation grant to build and implement the Digital Latin Library (DLL).
By the middle of 2017, we will deliver a collection of resources collectively known as the Digital Latin Library (digitallatin.org):
- a specialized, standards-based library catalog of Latin texts and related resources, including authority files for authors, works, and manuscripts
- a digital archive of scholarly materials related to critical editions
- three pilot critical editions for the LDLT
- a desktop application for advanced visualization and analysis of Latin texts
- web-based applications for reading, annotating, creating, and sharing texts and commentaries
- documentation for the continued maintenance of these resources after the funding period has ended.
