Ancient Near East and the Mediterranean World
http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/dl/proj/neh2

"...The University of Chicago Library has completed a project that preserves deteriorated research materials relating to the history, art and archaeology of the ancient Near East and the ancient Mediterranean world. Materials published between 1850 and 1950 were drawn from the Library's outstanding Ancient Near East and Classics Collections. The
Library addressed the preservation and access needs of the collections using three options: microfilming of 2,420 volumes, rebinding and providing enclosures for 6,530 volumes and digitizing thirty-five volumes...Preserved materials relate to the study of the ancient Near East and cover such topics as the archaeology, art, history, language, law, and religions of Sumer, Babylonia, Assyria, Egypt, Nubia, Persia, and other ancient peoples of Anatolia and the Fertile Crescent. Classics materials span the time from the rise of Bronze Age Aegean culture through the period in the Middle Ages and include volumes relating to the history, art and archaeology of the classical world."
