Reposted from the ISAW Library blog (post by Jasmine Smith)

With the spread of Covid-19, institutions related to the study of antiquity are finding new and creative ways to continue to engage with their communities and wider audiences.

Most institutions are of course turning to technology to create virtual events and experiences that users can enjoy from wherever they are so long as they have an internet connection. These include virtual conferences, museum exhibits, and even virtual tours of ancient places. The ISAW Library staff have attended various virtual events. For instance, the annual meetings of the Association of Ancient Historians and the American Research Center in Egypt were both migrated to an online platform. We have assembled a brief list of free, open to the public, upcoming or current virtual events and experiences that have been brought to our attention:

Virtual Tours and Museum Exhibits

  • Tomb of Menna
  • Aslam al-Silahdar Mosque
  • Bab Zuwayla
  • Beni Hasan
  • Tomb of Meresankh
  • See a longer list of tours of Egyptian sites here
  • Ancient Egypt Rediscovered gallery at the National Museum of Scotland

Lectures and Conferences

  • Online Panel: Good Archaeology, Bad Archaeologists?  (June 12, 2020)
  • Recorded lecture by ISAW Professor Lorenzo d’Alfonso, conference on Cappadocia and Cappadocians from the Hellensitic to the Byzantine period
  • Webinar Series: Wolfson (Ancient) Warfare Wednesdays
  • Conference: Wonderful Things 2020: The Material Culture of the Egypt Centre, (weekly lectures through early July)
  • Egypt Exploration Society Virtual Study Day (June 13, 2020)

Please keep in mind some online conferences and lectures require (free) registration in order to access links for the event.
