  1. FAQs

Frequently asked questions

We deal with hundreds of emails every week and are, unfortunately, not always able to respond to all enquiries. Please check if your question is answered below before contacting us.

Can I publish something from your publications or collections in my work?

Expand

If you plan to use the image in a presentation then there is no need to request permission, we just ask that you let people know where the image is from for their own notes. If you wish to disseminate the image in another format (i.e. books, article, website, exhibition, TV, etc.) then you would follow the instructions here. We do not charge for scholarly use, but you would need to demonstrate that it is not commercial in nature.

Can you help me locate an item in a museum?

Expand

Over our history we have conducted surveys and excavations at over 150 sites in Egypt and Sudan and published over 350 volumes relating to the results of this work. During this time, thousands of artefacts were distributed to museums around the world. You will find a lot more information in our Archive and in the museums themselves. You should also consult the Artefacts of Excavation website which includes digital versions of our distribution archive, or Scattered Finds by Dr Alice Stevenson (UCL).

Do you have the book I need in your library?

Expand

We cannot respond to every enquiry we receive about our library collection. Our library catalogue is available online here. If the book is in our catalogue, then it should be on our open shelves and will not need to be requested in advance. Our library is open Monday-Thursday, 10:30-16:30, and there is no need to inform us of your visit. EES Members, members of our partner institutions, and students receive free access, non-members can pay a £5-day rate for library access.

I added JEA-online to my membership subscription; how do I access this?

Expand

We will send your contact details to our partners at SAGE. They will then contact you with log in details and information about accessing the JEA back catalogue online. This can take a few weeks to process. If you require any articles in the meantime, then send an email to [email protected] requesting the article you need including your membership number, the year of publication, article title and author, and page range (if known). We can send you a pdf while you wait for your access to be arranged.

I have a question about my research, who can I contact?

Expand

We do not have capacity to perform research on your behalf. If we receive a research request, then we will not ordinarily respond. If you are a member then we would recommend that you visit our library to consult published works. Otherwise, you may consider attending one of our events or those of our Local Society partners to consult with their members and speakers.

I think I pay by Direct Debit, FuturePay, or standing order; how would I know?

Expand

Check your bank statements to see if this payment left your account last year (this should be around 1st April). If you pay by Direct Debit, then this should look like ‘Charity donation’ and paid into our account with CAF Bank. If you are concerned then contact us, otherwise wait until the renewal period and see if the payment leaves your account automatically. Don’t panic, we certainly do not want to lose your support, so we will send you a polite reminder later in the year if your payment is not received.

Please note: Your bank statement will not say 'EES' or 'The Egypt Exploration Society' if you pay by Direct Debit. It will look like ‘Charity donation’ and will be paid into our account with CAF Bank. If you are unsure whether the payment you've made is for us, then feel free to contact us at any time.

If you would like to set up a Direct Debit then download and return the form here.
