Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI)

The mission of the Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative (CDLI) is to collect, preserve and make available images, text and metadata of all artifacts inscribed with the cuneiform script. It is the sole project with this mission and we estimate that our 334,000 catalogue entries cover some two-thirds of all sources in collections around the world. Our data are available publicly at https://cdli.ucla.edu and our audiences comprise primarily scholars and students, but with growing numbers of informal learners.
