A sampling of all things Egypt.
The Society's collections are unique resources of significant value to our knowledge of Egypt and the discipline of Egyptology. With over 20,000 library volumes, an estimated one million archival items, and over 500,000 papyri fragments, the research potential of these collections is enormous. In these brief essays staff, volunteers, and visiting researchers explore some of the highlights from these resources and offer some thoughts for further investigation.
