The Norman Sicily Project is a digital history effort whose mission is to document and promote study of the Normans state in Sicily, ca. 1060 - 1194.[1][2][3][4]
The project is in full prototype form with a completed inventory of the society's Monastery|monasteries, the majority of which have been Georeferencing|georeferenced.[5] Some monuments have been assessed using the Cultural Stone Stability Index and the stone stability scores are embedded in their dedicated records.[6] The project currently includes over 4,000 images and videos as well as an extensive kinship network graph intended to demonstrate the connections the state's rulers had both in the southern Italy|region and across the European continent.
In addition to an English-language version, the site has an Italian-language version.
