Ottoman Greece
The project is spearheaded by Dr. Evanthia Baboula at the Department of Art History and Visual Studies, University of Victoria.
The project aims to create a comprehensive resource for researchers studying Ottoman architecture in Greece, with a particular focus on structures patronized by the Ottomans in southern regions, including the Peloponnese and the southern mainland.
I have collaborated on the project as a research contributor and website designer.
This project is ongoing, and the website is currently under construction.
Post-Mamluk Metalwork
The project is spearheaded by Dr. Marcus Milwright at the Department of Art History and Visual Studies, University of Victoria.
This site is devoted to the metalwork of Egypt and Greater Syria during a fascinating and productive phase in the region’s artistic history. This body of work, produced in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, has come to be collectively known as the “Mamluk Revival,” a movement that emerged, likely at some point in the nineteenth century, as a deliberate reimagining of the rich metalworking traditions of the Mamluk period.

Crafts of Syria
The project was led by Dr. Marcus Milwright at the Department of Art History and Visual Studies, University of Victoria.
The project documents the endangered traditions of manual crafts in Syria, preserving knowledge of manufacturing practices, tools, and cultural rituals amid ongoing conflict and modernization. Organized by cities and towns, it brings together historical sources, ethnographic studies, and visual materials from the seventh century to today. The site serves as a resource for students and researchers interested in Syria’s material culture and includes essays, maps, biographies, and other tools to support the study of Islamic craft traditions.

Crafts of Iraq
The project was led by Dr. Marcus Milwright at the Department of Art History and Visual Studies, University of Victoria.
This project and website explore Iraq’s rich craft heritage, from ancient times through the Islamic period to today. It highlights traditional practices in both urban and rural settings, including the marshlands, and preserves knowledge threatened by conflict and modernization. Organized by cities and towns, the site offers historical sources, ethnographic research, and visual materials to support the study of Iraq’s material culture and artisanal traditions.
