Papyrus

The ASP was founded in 1961 to further the study of ancient Greek and Latin papyri and of the materials contained in them. The Society supports and encourages research in the field, the teaching of the discipline, and international cooperation by scholars in the field.

With over 7,000 inventory numbers and more than 10,000 individual fragments, this collection is one of the largest of its type in the world. Through this site we hope to provide access to our collection, as well as to numerous other papyrological resources, for researchers, students, and the general public.

The website contains a variety of resources for learning about papyrology and the history of other ancient writing materials.
