Diotima: Materials for the Study of Women and Gender in the Ancient World ... a pioneering site, not just in Classics, but in Humanities in general ...
Anahita-l ... a discussion group set up to complement the above (now at Yahoo, but some of the most interesting discussions from its early days are still available in the UKy listserv archives)
Suda Online ... a model for scholarly collaboration
Neo-Latin Colloquia ... arguing against the 'dead language' claim
... eventually most of Dr. Scaife's Online projects became subsumed under the rubric of the Stoa Consortium, again, a model for online scholarly collaboration.
On his 'cv' page at UKy, there is an interesting excerpt from Tennyson's Ulysses:
Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Dr. Scaife will definitely be missed.
