Recently-launched
SitesandPhotos.com brings -- for the first time -- cataloged
professional-quality images and video of Mediterranean archaeological
sites to the fingertips of educators, researchers, publishers, and
others
Tel Aviv, Israel (PRWEB)
February 21, 2007 -- Sites & Photos today announced the launch of
SitesandPhotos.com - the world's first dedicated and fully-searchable
collection of archaeological photographs and video. With over 80,000 archaeology images and 1300 DVD-quality videos
covering more than 400 archaeological sites across the Mediterranean
basin, SitesandPhotos.com is the largest online archaeology media
resource. Conceived and built with the needs of academics, publishers, and
scholars in mind - SitesandPhotos.com is a highly-organized and
constantly-expanding collection - the brainchild of archaeologist and
photographer Samuel Magal. Magal's high quality images have been
featured for years in authoritative text books and are used daily in
universities and colleges across the world to teach the next generation
of archaeologists and historians.
Recognizing demand among fellow scholars for easily-accessible media,
cataloged according to key research parameters like site or monument
name, type and style, historical era or geographical region, Magal
founded SitesandPhotos.com to be a one-stop-shop for archaeological
research. The web site includes visual content from both well-known and
rare archaeological sites, in-depth site background information, and an
archive of archaeological articles and diagrams.
With an innovative subscription or simple one-time purchase business models, SitesandPhotos.com image bank makes
more archaeological content more accessible, more cost-effectively, to
a wider audience. Academic institutions can subscribe to the complete
library, offering unlimited access to images and videos. Publishing
houses can enjoy unique pricing plans dependent upon size, quality and
media usage.
"Online archaeological research suffered from a glut of low-quality,
uncataloged media," noted Magal. "Simply put, we created
SitesandPhotos.com to make life easier for researchers. By offering
high-quality images and video supplemented by comprehensive background
knowledge, all organized in a logical catalog, SitesandPhotos.com is an
indispensable tool for universities, publishers, and researchers
worldwide," he concluded.
