The Digitized Archives Program of the International Catacomb Society (DAPICS) is a developing resource for scholars worldwide for visual data on ancient sites. By integrating current documentation of artifacts with archival images of photographs, maps, plans, drawings, and other materials of historical, archaeological, and religious significance, DAPICS aims to foster interdisciplinary research and reflection on interactions between different societies of the Greco-Roman world. DAPICS contains approximately 5,000 digitized and cataloged photographic images available through an online database. The strengths of the DAPICS collection include the Jewish catacombs of Rome, epigraphy from the catacombs, early Christian churches in Rome, and early Christian and Jewish iconography. While the DAPICS archives may be consulted in person by contacting the staff of the society, the online database is only available via remote access for ICS members.
