The Gray Literature Bibliographic Database
The Gray Literature Bibliographic Database is a combined listing of unpublished site reports, manuscripts, and assorted documents that are not generally available online. To view these items researchers must contact the specific organization that houses the document and make arrangements directly. There are some exceptions to this general rule. A select few reports have had specific location information removed from them in order to protect the resource. Those reports are available through this website as a PDF. Links are provided with the document description where available.
Shipwrecks Over Time - Yongala Collection
The Shipwrecks Over Time – Yongala project is an experiment in crowd-sourced image collecting. In an effort to capture the changes over time on an in situ shipwreck, sport divers and archaeologists have contributed photographs of a single wreck over the span of several years. Our goal is to recruit additional images from divers who have visited the site. As the image collection grows so too will the opportunity to study site formation processes over time. We strongly encourage anyone with additional knowledge of individual photos, the wreck in general, or further images to contribute to contact us at research@themua.org . This collection houses images of the shipwreck Yongala located off of Queensland, Australia.
Asian Maritime Resources Bibliography
This bibliography contains a selection of primary and secondary source materials introducing maritime history and archaeology of China, Japan, Korea, India, and Southeast Asia. We hope to continue to add items as research in this area continues to expand. Please feel free to contact us at research@themua.org with additional suggestions for this collection.
