0 Comments

 
Run by Dr Sarah Ketchley, this project is transcribing the diaries of Emma B. Andrews, an American woman who travelled frequently to Egypt in the early 20th century. Andrews was closely associated and romantically linked to American industrialist Theodore M. Davis, who obtained permission from the Egyptian Government to excavate tombs in the Valley of the Kings, Luxor. 

The project is also transcribing and making available online the diaries of other Americans travelling to and working in archaeology in Egypt at this time.

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.

NPAPH Project

By Bart Wagemakers (NPAPH)

The Non-Professional Archaeological Photographs (NPAPH) project has the aim to preserve non-professional documentation of archaeological campaigns prior to the 1980s to the future and make it accessible to the public via digital archives.

The term ‘non-professional’ refers to records made by visitors or participants of excavations who were not part of the trained staff, but who assisted as part of their continuing education or out of interest, for instance students, volunteers, reporters or sponsors. Secondly, this category of documentation includes also the private photos, slides or films made at the excavation by the archaeological staff.
