Scanning the office archives

After 135 years the Egypt Exploration Society has produced a vast archive of documents and reports directly relating to its own business history. In 2016, to compliment the 'cataloguing the correspondence project' and 'digitizing the distribution projects' (see above), Mina started scanning the Annual Reports of the Society. This was completed in December 2016 and the project was expanded to include the Committee Minutes from 1882 until 1982. These documents provide a unique insight into the working of the Society from its foundation to its centenary and preserve countless names of supporters, Egyptologists, archaeologists and those working in related fields - notably committee members.
