Introduction The scholarly monograph has been compared to the Hapsburg monarchy in that it seems to have been in decline forever! It was in 2002 that Stephen Greenblatt, in his role as president of the US Modern Language Association, urged his membership to recognise what he called a ‘crisis in scholarly publication’. It is easy to forget now that this crisis, as he then saw it, had nothing to do with the rise of digital technologies, e-publishing, or open access. Indeed, it puts his words in...

International audience; With this White Paper, which gathers contributions from more than 25 experts of 3D imaging, modellng and processing, as well as professionals concerned with the interoperability and sustainability of research data, the PARTHENOS project aims at laying the foundations of a comprehensive environment centered on the researchers' practices concerning 3D digital objects.The topics addressed in the document are meant to help to ensure the development of standardized good practices relating to the production, the handling, the long-term conservation and the reuse of 3D objects. Therefore, even if the focus is put on technical questions (formats, processing, and annotation), the White Paper also identifies the need to clarify the legal status of 3D objects, in order to facilitate their reuse(s) in non-research contexts, in particular in Museums.

The 12th Supplement to the international open access journal ‘Archeologia e Calcolatori’ is dedicated to the history of archaeological research in the digital age, with particular reference to the evolution of electronic publishing from 1955 until today. In the first part of the volume, the Author, Ingénieur de recherche at the CNRS (équipe ArScAn - Monde grec et systèmes d'information), focuses on the history of applications in France in the second half of the 20th century, starting from the earliest experiments of classification and automation of documentary analysis, which then led to the creation of archaeological databases. The second part of the volume examines the development of electronic publishing in archaeology, with particular reference to the changes brought about by the advent of the Internet and the Open Access movement. Through a careful evaluation of the websites of reference for the dissemination of monographs and journals, the analysis focuses on the different digitization and online dissemination policies for archaeological publications. The results of this systematic survey offer a series of interesting ideas to better understand and satisfy the needs of the archaeological community.

Die Alpengletscher schmelzen und bringen so archäologisch interessante Objekte zum Vorschein, die während Jahrzehnten, Jahrhunderten oder Jahrtausenden im Eis lagerten. Denn schon seit der Urgeschichte hinterlassen Menschen Spuren in hochalpinen Gegenden. Nicht jeder Fund ist so spektakulär wie die Eismumie Ötzi. Doch auch nur als Fragmente konservierte Objekte wie Kleidungsstücke, Knochen oder Werkzeuge sind von grossem kulturhistorischem Wert. Sie geben uns eine klarere Vorstellung von der Bekleidung und Ausrüstung der Menschen, die sich in früheren Jahrhunderten und Jahrtausenden im Hochgebirge bewegten. Andere Funde verweisen auf vielfältige alpine Verkehrsachsen und einen sich wandelnden Umgang mit alpinen Ressourcen. Das Bulletin behandelt in seinem thematischen Dossier das Thema der Gletscherarchäologie und nimmt damit ein junges Feld der archäologischen Forschung auf.
