IoA History of Archaeology Seminar Series

Amara has been in touch to say:

Discovering archaeology sources at UCL

Colin Penman & Robert Winckworth (UCL Special Collections, Archives and Records)

6 June 2016, 6-7 pm

Room 612, UCL Institute of Archaeology

UCL Library Services holds a wealth of rare and archival material surrounding archaeology.  As well as records of the teaching of archaeology and Egyptology at UCL, we look after collections documenting some very significant excavations around the world, and the personal papers of archaeologists such as Gordon Childe and Margaret Murray.  We will discuss the nature of archives, what they have to offer, and how to negotiate your way around them.

We are also in the process of developing a new website, which is a directory of events, projects, and archives relating to the history of archaeology.  The link is here: http://historyofarchaeologyioa.weebly.com/

 

The Events page will have short notices of Network events, as well as any other public events we can find relating to the history of archaeology – e. g. exhibitions, films, talks.  We’ll be updating this as we can, so do check in regularly to see what events might be on near you. The events listed are keyword searchable. If you have any notices of events happening in your area to do with the history of archaeology do get in touch, but please note this is for events open to the public only, we won’t be including academic conferences.

 

Our Projects and Archives pages are meant to provide a keyword searchable list of history of archaeology related projects and archives in the UK (for the moment). We will be adding to these with the help of archivists and curators as we can.
