The preparation of "l'Année Philologique," a comprehensive bibliography of research in all fields of classical studies that contains abstracts of serial publications.

Since 1927 l'Annee philologique (APh) has been the essential annual comprehensive and authoritative bibliography of classical studies for all humanists studying the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome. Since 2002, APh has become even more valuable because its listings are now available by subscription on a web site which combines current volumes with older volumes put in digital form by another NEH-funded project sponsored by the American Philological Association: the Database of Classical Bibliography. This proposal seeks support for the American Office (AO) of APh, one of five offices around the world. The AO is responsible for preparing full bibliographical entries for works of scholarship published in the USA, the UK, and the current and former countries of the British Commonwealth. The AO has been a leader among the APh offices in introducing valuable technological innovations to the process of collecting and publishing the bibliography.
