The Digital Corpus of Cuneiform Lexical Texts, directed by Niek Veldhuis (PI), publishes editions and translations of cuneiform lexical texts (word lists and sign lists) from all periods of Mesopotamian history with glossaries. DCCLT first went online in 2003, when it was hosted on the CDLI server. This first pilot version of DCCLT was supported by a Hellman Family Fund grant and was built by Madeleine Fitzgerald and Steve Tinney
