OG(H)AM: Harnessing Digital Technologies to Transform Understanding of Ogham Writing, from the 4th Century to the 21st

Principal Investigators: Professor David Stifter; Professor Katherine Forsyth (University of Glasgow)

The OG(H)AM project is funded by a Research Ireland and UK Arts and Humanities Research Council grant under the ‘UK–Ireland Collaboration in Digital Humanities Research’ scheme (UK Grant number AH/W001985/1, Irish Grant number IRC/W001985/1). The project is digitally documenting all c. 640 examples of ogham writing in all media, from its origin (probably in the 4^th century) until the mid-19^th century, from Ireland, Britain and Man. The documentation goes beyond stone monuments and includes also portable objects, graffiti, and two-dimensional ogham writing in manuscripts from the 8^th to the 19^th centuries. At the end of the project, all data, metadata and 3D models will be made available at the Ogham in 3D.
