| Comment | from the Dumbarton Oaks Byzantine Seals Collection homepage: The 17,000 seals in the Dumbarton Oaks collection are a rich source of information about the Byzantines and their empire. Ranging from the fourth to fifteenth centuries and covering a wide array of Byzantine society, seals provide a unique lens through which to view social, institutional, religious, and artistic developments in the empire. The first seals were acquired by Dumbarton Oaks in 1946 and the collection continued to grow into the 1960. Since 1972 Dumbarton Oaks has actively catalogued its collection leading to the publication to date of seven print volumes and an online catalogue launched in 2010. Through its publications, online resources, and educational activities Dumbarton Oaks hopes to increase access to its collection and foster interest in seals as a source for understanding Byzantium and its people. |
