Web site - Parco Archeologico di Pompei
Facebook - Parco Archeologico di Pompei
Twitter - Parco Archeologico di Pompei
These are the official sites for the Parco Archeologico di Pompei.
The Soprintendenza has undergone several name changes in recent years as responsibilities and autonomy have changed.
It was previously often referred to in short as SANPES, SANP and previously SAP. It is now the Parco Archeologico di Pompei.
This is the government body responsible for the
maintenance of historic monuments in Italy.
The site is in Italian and
English and
concentrates on the more spectacular tourist parts, but
in doing so mentions some of the public buildings.
It includes
a few photos and movies and very basic notes, but well below the level that you
may require.
http://pompei.sns.it/prado_front_end/index.php?page=Home&id=1
La Fortuna
Visiva di Pompei is an archive for images and text from 1748 to the early 20th
century.
It is
supported by the SANP and other institutions such as the
Deutsches Archäologisches Institut (DAI) contribute material.
It is in
Italian and English.
Museo Archeologico Nazionale Napoli
This is the official Soprintendenza site for the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.
There is a search facility, which is only accessible from the Home page.
Using the
Italian pages produces better results, though some pages
are available in English
by clicking on the GB flag at the top right of each page.
It
concentrates on art, sculpture, and small finds, some of which may have been
found in public buildings and may not very helpful for your purposes.
It has
themed collections which can be browsed.
The Museum
itself is very good and well worth a visit as the best material from Pompeii and
neighbouring sites is collected here.
However,
some of the material from here can be found in Wikimedia
Commons
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Museo_Nazionale_di_Napoli
These all
art and artistic small finds. Many have already been put back into their
original find locations on pompeiiinpictures.
There are
photographs here of the two large cork models of Pompeii, which show it as it
was, with its decorations, in the 19th century.
The ICCD has now created a database of art works held in Italian Cultural areas, including old drawings and watercolours held in Naples Museum.
This can be searched and the results downloaded as a PDF, which gives a copy of the artwork and the details about it.
The art works are useable for non-commercial purposes under a Creative Commons licence.

It is one of
the most useful and interesting sites on Pompeii and its neighbourhood, and it
is updated fairly frequently.
It includes
courses, notices and reviews of new publications, whether books, articles or
on-line material.
The original web site
http://www.pompeiiinpictures.org/ and
www.pompeiiinpictures.com
There is simply no parallel to Pompeii in
Pictures’ virtually complete photographic cover of Pompeii.
There is a
search facility, which works on the page text and photo captions, and so the
results depend on what has been put there.
The quality
and resolution of the photographs as published is only medium, but we do have
the originals of much higher quality.
Contact us

All the
relevant buildings are covered under their region and insula. In addition this

papers of interest.

There is a
lot of good stuff in the various parts of Wikipedia: there are often good summaries, a few illustrations, and the source
references.
Clearly the
quality of the content needs careful checking: do ask your supervisor if you are
uncertain. It all depends on who wrote the material.
There are
some good photos on it too, but cover can be patchy.
Its sister
site, Wikimedia Commons, often has many more illustrations of high
technical quality taken both by amateur and by professional photographers.
They are
very unlikely to be archaeologists, and the captions may be unhelpful, missing,
or wrong.
These two
are public domain sites, but your source must always be stated.
Wiktionary
can be helpful tracking down the meaning of obscure words or words that online
translation software cannot fathom.
Arachne is the database of the
German Archaeological Institute (DAI) and the Archaeological
Institute of the University of Cologne.
It is administrated by Prof. Dr. Reinhard Förtsch of the Universität zu Köln.
It provides archaeologists and classicists with a free internet research tool for quickly searching hundreds of thousands of records on objects and their attributes.
There is an ongoing process of digitizing traditional documentation (which are both threatened by decay and largely unexplored).
It contains many books, old paintings, drawings and photos collected by the DAI and not available elsehwere.
You can
access the material without a login, but it will be in lower resolution.
If you
register with Arachne (free) you can get higher resolution and also download
material.

have been realistically rendered using photos from a number of sources including

useful material on several topics, including the Forum itself and various
surrounding public buildings, and there is much interesting and relevant
material here.

It includes
a vast Bibliography section, which is beyond your likely needs and is not kept
up to date anyway.

doing.

The Swedish Pompeii Project started in 2000 as a fieldwork project initiated at the Swedish Institute in Rome, to record and analyse an entire Pompeian city-block, Insula V 1.
In the recording process large quantities of data and photographs have been amassed and this web site is the forum chosen to share the collected information with those interested in the details of Pompeian houses.
Digitisation of the NOVA BIBLIOTHECA POMPEIANA. Repertorium bibliographicum pompeianum - Laurentino Garcia y Garcia.
NBP-Project is a freely consultable research tool that contains the bibliography from 1747 to 1998 by Lorenzo Garcia y Garcia.
There are a number of PDF files available covering
- over 16,000 bibliographic records
- over 10,000 authors from around the world
Note there is now a paper copy, the 1st Supplement to the Nova Bibliotecha Pompeiana, avaiable with updates from 1999 to 2011,.
https://cyark.org/projects/pompeii/overview
Founded in 2003, CyArk pioneered the application of 3D recording technologies to the preservation and celebration of cultural heritage.
There are
many other Pompeii sites which you can find by searching the Internet.
Whilst
pompeiiinpictures is the most comprehensive coverage of Pompeii you may find
specialist sites on an individual building or theme.
Be prepared
to search using the same words in several different languages.
Many
countries have ruled or researched Pompeii and material is often in their native
language and sometimes in an antique or obsolete form of that language.
Pompeii for
example may be Pompei, Pompeji, Pompéi, Pompeii, Pompeya, Помпеи.
Theatre may
be teatro,
Theater,
théâtre, theatre (UK) or theater (US), teatro, театр.
[Italian,
German, French, English, Spanish, Russian]
Other stratagems are to try alternative names for sites and features and
to be prepared to think sideways. American sites, for example, will have
spellings and terminology different from the “real” English that you will be
expected to use in your UK work.
Based on material kindly provided by Michael Binns, University of Durham, Department of Archaeology, UK.
This is one of the best overall introductions. It has chapters by a wide range of specialists, and it includes an excellent Glossary, pp. 637–48, and detailed notes and (usually) further bibliographies at the end of each chapter. Useful chapters include Part II, “The Community”, Chapters 9–16, pp. 119–266, and Chapter 37, pp. 585–606, which cover most of the public buildings. There is a supporting website, at http://quemdixerechaos.com/pompeii/. It includes many links to other websites. The site is being updated and Pedar Foss is revising the website general Bibliography.
This is another very useful starter with some provoking use of statistics. Chapter 2, “Reshaping Public Space”, pp. 20–38, is likely to be useful for public buildings.
See especially the first “Public” part, and it includes extensive Notes at the back.
See especially Chapter 6, “Life in the City”, pp. 97–153.
See the “Infrastructure” section, pp. 115–63, for material on roads, water supply and drainage, and general infrastructure.
See Chapter 6 on city government, pp. 188–215.
See Chapter V, “Life in the Public Eye”, pp. 120–53, and Chapter VII, “Gods, Temples and Cults”, pp. 186–209, and the useful bibliography. Its illustrations are good.
This has a lot of material on roads in Pompeii and some on the Forum and a very extensive Bibliography.
This clearly is relevant to the Amphitheatre and the Quadriporticus of the Theatre and has a particularly well organised Bibliography.
These are the best source of all the original Oscan, Latin, and Greek literary and epigraphic texts that you will need, translated into English and highly organized.
These are the two books to read on sanitation in Pompeii. Every toilet in Pompeii is described and illustrated, whether public or private! Better copies of all his photographs are now filed here under their individual addresses in pompeiiinpictures. Full references to other recent work are included.
This is a survey of all Roman theatres, discussing various aspects of them and of similar buildings, including amphitheatres, pp. 1–115. In the Catalogue it includes sections about the two theatres in Pompeii on pp. 130–2. It is well supplied with plans and references.
This is a wide study of amphitheatres, including that in Pompeii and the Quadriporticus of the Theatre, which seems to have been a training place for gladiators in the latest period; pp. 39–58. There is a wide range of related comparative material. It is well supplied with drawings and black-and-white photographs (as was the standard then) and has an extensive section of Notes and a Bibliography.
This is an excellent basic introduction to many of the public monuments except religious ones. Its hand-drawn colour illustrations and reconstructions are outstanding and are all based on sound surviving archaeological and literary evidence. There is no bibliography.
This is another basic introduction, more extensive than Connolly and including religious sites, but also lacking a bibliography. The illustrations are quite good, but the glossary is unhelpful.
This includes a DVD, and shows interesting and often plausible computer reconstructions of various parts of the city, which he has since developed into the MAV (Museo di Archeologia Virtuale). This is close to the entrance to the excavations at Herculaneum and well worth a visit: http://www.museomav.it/index.php?lang=en
