Imaging the Iliad: A Digital Renaissance (Full Documentary)  During the summer of 2007 researchers from the University of Kentucky, University of Houston, College of the Holy Cross, Furman University, and Brandeis University gathered in Venice, Italy at the Marciana Library to digitally preserve the Venetus A, the oldest existing complete text of the Homeric Iliad.  During this time the Vis Center produced a documentary entitled, Imaging the Iliad: A Digital Renaissance. The film premiered on the University of Kentucky campus in December 2008 and then was first broadcast on Kentucky Educational Television in January 2009.
