Ashes2Art is an inter-university collaboration between Coastal Carolina University and Arkansas State University under the direction of Arne Flaten, Paul Olsen and Alyson Gill. It is offered for upper-level course credit at both universities each spring. For this particular phase of the program, we are focusing on the 4th century BCE sanctuary at Delphi, Greece. Every element of the site is designed and implemented by undergraduate students under close faculty supervision. With the support of the National Endowment for the Humanities in the form of a Digital Humanities Start Up Grant, the website aims to provide a valuable and intuitive resource for secondary students, discipline specialists and the general public. There are two related and interconnected websites dedicated to Ashes2Art at Delphi; the present one (Coastal Carolina University) and the Digital Delphi site (Arkansas State University). The pages are linked, with the design and content for the two websites governed by the directors at their respective universities; for example, since Arkansas State is working on the gymnasium complex, Coastal Carolina's page (the present one) will automatically link to the ASU materials on their site.

In spring 2007 and 2008 students and faculty from CCU and ASU traveled to Delphi and several other Pan Hellenic sites to shoot digital photographic panoramas from various locations inside and outside the monuments. Ashes2Art would like to thank the Hellenic Ministry of Culture and the American School of Classical Studies in Athens for their help in documenting the sites. We would especially like to thank Dr. Elena Partida at the Archaeological Museum of Delphi for her help, and we are grateful to Archivision for allowing us online publication rights to their images.
