Petra 1929

A digital transcription of the "Petra Exploration Fund Diary", a document charting the progress of the first intensive excavations at Petra in 1929, with associated contextual essays and indexes. 

The Diary was written by Agnes Conway and George Horsfield, two members of the 1929 team.  It is part of the Horsfield archive, held by the Institute of Archaeology, University College London.  It provides historical context for the 1929 excavation, as well as enabling users to search the diary entries through specified keywords. Over 60 photographs from the Horsfield archive have been included in the website.

The Petra 1929 project was developed by Dr Amara Thornton, with funding from the Council for British Research in the Levant.
