Archaeology Photography: SitesandPhotos.com Streamlines Search, Delivery of Exclusive, In-Depth Archaeological Visual Content
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.
