Egypt Exploration Society

Egypt Exploration Society — founded in 1882—has had as its mission to study ancient Egyptian sites and monuments, create a lasting record of the remains, generate enthusiasm for Egypt’s past, and to raise awareness of the importance of protecting its heritage. Today, the Society supports archaeological research projects throughout Egypt and makes the results of fieldwork and research accessible through its publications. Their Excavation Memoirs series presents the findings of their major fieldwork projects, Texts from Excavations present the philological study of texts discovered by the Society in Egypt, and the prestigious and long-running Journal of Egyptian Archaeology is one of the foremost periodicals in the field.
