It’s an early start but i’m on my way to Denver for the American Research Center in Egypt’s Annual Meeting…
Thought i should represent my home town on arrival 😬
Stand by for weather updates and pictures of coffee 😍
I’m so pleased that i booked a ticket to attend this @bilnas.bsky.social event @britishacademy.bsky.social. Libya has always been on the periphery of my knowledge and this film made me realise how connected the histories of northern Africa are!
Many thanks to @bilnas.bsky.social for organising 🤩
Leaving @theees.bsky.social is getting harder and harder as reality sinks in. Redevelopment, even for good reasons, inevitably means that we must accept change. The library may not be the same when i’m next in, but my memories will remain and our relaunch in 2028 will be accessible and sustainable.
Next in our series of #ADozenDiscoveries is ‘Pharaohs, Fellahs and Explorers’ by Amelia Edwards from @theees.bsky.social's Special Collections. Our founder aimed to make #AncientEgypt more accessible, and we continue to do so today.

Yesterday I had the privilege of hosting director Anna Benson Gyles at a special screening of her 1982 film ‘For the Love of Egypt’ which tells the founding of @theees.bsky.social in 1882. We were joined by Jeremy Clyde who played William Matthew Flinders Petrie too! 🤩
