Answer:

What is Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents mean?

The Canadian Centre for Epigraphic Documents (CCED) is a non-profit organization founded in order to archive, catalog, and digitize epigraphic materials. The CCED is staffed by professionals and graduate student volunteers from the information field: librarians, archivists, and digital humanists.

Initially housed at the Department of Classics, University of Toronto, the CCED worked with one of the largest collections of ancient Greek inscriptions in North America. These inscriptions were preserved in form of epigraphic squeezes and dated from the 7th century B.C. to the 4th century A.D.

The CCED is currently housed at the Department of Near and Middle Eastern Civilizations, University of Toronto. The CCED is working with the Harrak Collection of Iraqi Syriac and Garshuni inscriptions, the largest corpus of its type in the world. These inscriptions are preserved in analog and digital photograph format and date from the 7th to the 20th century A.D.

The centre is also working with the St. Ephrem Ecumenical Research Institute (SEERI) Collection and the Association for the Preservation of the Saint Thomas Christian Heritage (APSTCH) Collection. These two collections are from Kerala, India. They contain Syriac, Malayalam, Tamil and Pahlavi inscriptions dating from the 9th/10th century to the 20th century.

The centre has most recently issued a Call for Papers in the bid to establish a scholarly journal. The CCED Journal is set to be an open-access, peer-reviewed publication relating to epigraphic studies. Epigraphic studies is listed to include: historical or philological aspects of inscriptions; art historical aspects of inscriptions and their surrounding decorative motifs; digital humanities or information/library studies approaches relating to inscriptions; numismatics and sigillography.

The CCED Journal especially welcomes articles on inscriptions from the CCED online collection and editions of unpublished inscriptions.
