New cultural heritage partnerships with AIRC

Mini-documentaries on Archaeological Projects in Italy
Through a new partnership with AIAC (International Association of Classical Archaeology) AIRC has begun filming short documentaries of active archaeological projects throughout Italy for their online publication Fasti Online.  Our new film division (Darius, Alberto, and Simone) has been busy in the field, with initial filming at Gabii (University of Michigan), Sant'Omobono (Universities of Michigan and Calabria) and Via Ardeatina (University of Rome 3) in Rome, and Pompeii (University of Cincinnati).  The finished videos will be made available this fall, though you can already see working shots of the sites on our FLICKR page.  Stay tuned!

Social Media Collaboration with MiBAC
AIRC continues its unique collaboration with MiBAC (Italian Ministry of Culture), especially through the Direzione Generale per la Valorizzazione del Patrimonio Culturale led by Mario Resca.  This summer AIRC translated the key pages for MiBAC's new English-language website, and we'd like to especially thank the hard work of Shelley, Alberto, and Chris Renaud (professor of Classics at Carthage College).  The site will go live this fall and provide a suitable landing platform for the social media outlets (Twitter, Facebook) that AIRC is exclusively managing for MiBAC.
