Ricardo Caminos Memorial Library

The Library contains approximately 20,000 books, journals and pamphlets on Egyptology. As such it is one of the best libraries of its kind in the world.

It occupies the former home of Professor Ricardo Caminos; a professor of Egyptology at Brown University and the Society’s epigrapher before he retired in the early 1980s. The library is named The Ricardo A Caminos Memorial Library in his honour.
