The Gnomon Bibliographic Database is based on Gnomon. Kritische Zeitschrift für die gesamte klassische Altertumswissenschaft (1925-2005). The collection comprises not only all the reviews, but also the Personal Notes, the obituaries, and the quarterly bibliographic appendix to Gnomon from 1990 onwards, covering a considerable portion of the scholarly new publications in the areas of Classical Philology, Ancient History, and Archaeology. The information accessible from Gnomon database is not available from (e. g.) L'Année Philologique or Dyabola. It includes more than 8.000 German dissertations (unpublished, or only privately published), the abstracts of English dissertations since 1985, and holdings of the Library of Eichstätt University and of the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich with its special collection of books published in Classical Studies.

TOCS-IN provides the tables of contents of a selection of Classics, Near Eastern Studies, and Religion journals, both in text format and through a Web search program. Where possible, links are given with articles of which the full text or an abstract is available online (about 15%).

In addition, the Louvain mirror site archives much additional material for some of the journals before 1992. Searches of all data can be made at both sites.

The Ashmolean Museum's collection of plaster casts is one of the oldest and best preserved in Britain. Its history begins almost two hundred years ago, when plaster casts of ancient Greek and Roman statues could be found in several parts of the University. They served to decorate rooms, especially libraries, and to proclaim the Glory of Greece and the prestige of Oxonians who had made the Grand Tour to the Mediterranean.
