The Yousef Jameel Online Centre for the Study of Islamic and Eastern Art will be a global resource enabling students and scholars at every level, as well as the general public, to access and interact with the Ashmolean Museum's Islamic and Eastern Art collections online. The project has been made possible thanks to the generosity and vision of Yousef Jameel, Hon. LHD.
This website provides background information on the project and its development, some examples of the wide variety of stunning photography being produced under the digitisation programme, and contact information for the project team.
Launch date
The Yousef Jameel Online Centre for the Study of Islamic and Eastern Art will be launched in the winter 2009/10, following the opening of the new Ashmolean Museum in November 2009.
