Introduction

The Egypt Exploration Fund was founded in 1882 by Amelia Ann Blanford Edwards (1831-1892), author and Egyptologist, with the assistance of Sir Erasmus Wilson (1809-1884) and Reginald Stuart Poole (1832-1895). The Fund was incorporated under the Companies Act in 1888, and changed its name to the Egypt Exploration Society in 1919. Particularly in its earlier years it had close though informal connections with the British Museum, where Poole and other leading members of the Fund were curators, and with University College London, where Miss Edwards established the first English chair of Egyptian archaeology and philology. The Society and its library rented various premises until it acquired its present quarters in Doughty Mews in 1968.

The records of the Society have been carefully preserved. Along with minutes and accounts there are papers relating to subscriptions, to the Society’s publications (particularly the Journal of Egyptian Archaeology) and to events such as exhibitions and lectures. Of particular note are the papers covering the activities of the Fund down to 1918; letters mainly of the inter-War period from such eminent Egyptologists as Sir Alan Gardiner, TE Peet, FL Griffith and Sir Harold Idris Bell; and detailed records of expeditions to and excavations in Egypt and the Sudan, including photographs, maps and drawings. The collection also includes personal papers of Amelia Edwards and Prof WB Emery, and the records of the Society for the Preservation of Monuments of Ancient Egypt, transferred to the EEF when it was wound up in 1910.

The Commission is grateful to the Society for the opportunity to note the contents of this interesting and valuable archive. It was examined by RJ Olney and AP Lewis on 14 February 2000, in connection with research for the Commission’s forthcoming guide to the Papers of British Antiquaries and Historians, and they would like to record their own thanks to Dr Patricia Spencer and her colleagues for their help and hospitality on that occasion.
