Scanning the Abydos tomb cards

The Society’s work at Abydos during the early 20th century included the excavation of hundreds of burials in the desert edge cemeteries, many of which are now beneath modern cultivation or urban expansion. Susan Biddle has been scanning the tomb cards recording these burials at Abydos and then uploading these items to the Society’s Flickr feed. Before taking on the huge task of scanning the Abydos tomb cards, Susan had previously worked on the Society’s collection of Balabish and Sawama tomb cards.
