Pour tout renseignement concernant le programme CEFAEL (Collections de l’Ecole française en ligne), il convient d’écrire non pas à Jean-Pierre Aulas, responsable du service informatique, mais à l’adresse cefael@efa.gr, ou de consulter le “journal” du site http://cefael.efa.gr.

Most of the publications of the EFA are indeed available at CEFAEL, but only up to ca. 2000. Of related interest is Persée, a project of the French Ministry of Education to digitise French journals pertaining to the humanities and the social sciences. Included are, e.g., BCH (only a few volumes), DHA, etc. If I am not mistaken, digitisation of a number of other relevant journals, including CRAI, is under way.

So far as I can see, *all of BCH and associated publications are available open-access at

On reflection, I’ve modified the post slightly to make it less misleading. Is this better?

Thanks for the clarification, Paschalis. I guess I was hasty in my description: at least these four issues are open access (in as much as they’re free), although they’re fully copyrighted. You’re right that this doesn’t really constitute an “open” epigraphic publication, which would have to be web- and text-accessible, ideally include searchable Greek and Latin texts, and preferably encoded in a documented stadard such as EpiDoc.

Gabby, I am afraid you were misled by Intute’s description. Études épigraphiques is not an open access journal but a printed monographic series. As most publications of the École Française d’Athènes, the four printed volumes of the Études épigraphiques have been digitised in the context of Céfael, which clearly records its terms of service.
