Here is the link to a new open-access and peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of ancient and medieval pasts: Fragments.
Particulary interesting is the aim of the journal and the meaning of its title: “The broadest aim of Fragments is to transcend fragmentation: to foster research that overflows the boundaries of various well-established and vital traditions and generates new, integrated ways of thinking about the premodern past”.

Here is a post from Juxta (Collation software for scholars), which is “an open-source cross-platform tool for comparing and collating multiple witnesses to a single textual work. This software allows users to set any of the witnesses as the base text, to add or remove witness texts, to switch the base text at will, and to annotate Juxta-revealed comparisons and save the results”. Juxta can be very useful also to work with fragments of lost works, and it has recently received the Google Digital Humanities Award:

Here is an interesting announcement appeared in the Brown Alumni Magazine (March/April 2010), which illustrates the reconstruction of a “modern” example of fragmentary text:
April 22, 2010 — Using digital images, scholars have discovered that fragments of paper at libraries at Brown and the University of Chicago are two halves of a single page on which the teenaged Abraham Lincoln copied out math problems. It’s one of the earliest examples of Lincoln’s thought and writing.

Digital Research in the Study of Classical Antiquity, edited by Gabriel Bodard (King’s College, London, UK) and Simon Mahony (University College London, UK), Ashgate 2010, ISBN 978-0-7546-7773-4 £ 55.00
This book explores the challenges and opportunities presented to Classical scholarship by digital practice and resources. Drawing on the expertise of a community of scholars who use innovative methods and technologies, it shows that traditionally rigorous scholarship is as central to digital research as it is to mainstream Classical Studies. The chapters in this edited collection cover many subjects, including text and data markup, data management, network analysis, pedagogical theory and the Social and Semantic Web, illustrating the range of methods that enrich the many facets of the study of the ancient world. This volume exemplifies the collaborative and interdisciplinary nature that is at the heart of Classical Studies.
