 We are pleased to tell you that WorldImages is back on line, with a new
server, new software, and over 100,000 images that can be freely used for
educational purposes. Check out http://worldimages.sjsu.edu

We recently added over 4000 images in a variety of areas including art and
architecture, politics, and technology; these images emphasize Greece and
the Balkans, particularly Bulgaria and Albania.


BALKANS: Prehistoric potters created delightful ceramic figures, while the
goldsmiths of ancient Thrace and Macedonia specialized in exquisitely
crafted gold objects. The Balkans was an important center for icons and
frescoes during the Medieval period, and modern images from Albania tell a
powerful political story.

GREECE: Many images have been added to the Greek portfolios, including
mosaics from ancient Pella, funerary gold wreaths and coins, and the
amazing Antikythera Mechanism, an early computer found in a shipwreck in
the Mediterranean Sea. Images from the Athenian Acropolis include back
views of the caryatids that are being cleaned with lasers, and the numerous
panels from the Parthenon frieze which have been installed in the new
Acropolis museum.
