ABSTRACT
For a scholar in the humanities, it can be intimidating to embark upon a project with a substantial technical component and then to formulate the experience in writing. My expertise is in Roman and late Roman epigraphy, the study of inscribed stones, and I am a relative newcomer to humanities computing. My contribution to the interrogation of the humanist’s use for electronic resources is largely confined to my experience on one particular project and the issues that this has raised. This chapter therefore provides a narrative account of the project, setting out the practical issues, while trying to draw attention to the generic and methodological issues.
