The AMPHORAS project
http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/amphoras/cgi-bin/well
Amphoras’ scientific investigation is the core of the project, that collected and catalogued in the General Amphora File (GAF) around 100.000 fragments, partially coming from the personal archive of Virginia R. Grace, containing materials from the Athens’ agora excavations. The website also offers a bibliography on Greek and Roman amphoras, a list of quotations regarding amphoras usage in Greek literature and useful links to other websites dealing with similar subjects.

The Beazley Archive
http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/index.htm
The project started in 1998 with the original aim of making the contents of Sir John Beazley archive available in electronic version, although it has been subsequently enlarged with the addition of new materials. The most important website’s section is the Pottery database on black- and red-figures Attic vases, where search can be made by taking into account form, technique, pottery decorator, dating, topic, collection criteria. Furthermore, the website includes 20 databases (for instance on sculpture and on gems) that can be consulted one by one or through combined search (merged databases).
It is worth mentioning the thematic bibliographies (for example the one concerning vases shapes: (http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/tools/bibliographies/default.htm) and the list of useful links (http://www.beazley.ox.ac.uk/tools/links/default.htm).

It is also possible to set a search based on specific criteria, such as production, shape, technique.
