The article, “Archaeological Digital Archiving in Turkey,” provides an in-depth look behind the curtain of the digital archiving scene across the globe. Found through the University of Central Florida Library, this article is available online at no cost for UCF students. The article details the process of moving data from the excavation site into the archives. Beginning with fieldwork, the information is then transferred to existing repositories that serve as informational hubs. The landscape of archeological digital archiving is a loose and eclectic one. Turkey provides a good example of a decisive and well-oiled system. By providing an overview of the legal framework and organization of the archiving systems, this article could be useful to both archivists and archeologists. There are also helpful demonstrations of how important collaboration across career fields is. To borrow from the summary by the creators themselves, “we also conclude that the future promises progress towards more interoperable archaeological digital archives thanks to international training, network and knowledge transfer opportunities.”
