Statement of Intent on the Handling of Unpublished Inscriptions
As an international open scholarly community for the purpose of providing a collaborative environment for digital epigraphy, Epigraphy.info encourages codes of conduct that serve the good scholar practice, correspond to the tried and tested approach of electronic data archives for epigraphy, and meet the public interest in the timely publication of epigraphic heritage.
The handling of unpublished inscriptions relates to three categories: (1) new finds, (2) unpublished old finds in public and private collections, and (3) stolen objects and objects on the black market.
