Description

Documenting Cappadocia is an open access digital humanities resource on Byzantine art, architecture, and landscape features in the region of central Turkey. This bibliography, blog, gallery, and online community offers a starting point for academic research and background information for travelers. The project’s goal is to bridge the gap between commercial sources and published academic research by providing a scholarly introduction to the area.
