Egyptological Societies and Institutes

version 56 (May 10, 2009)

Please send any additions and corrections to A.K. Eyma

Appart from supplying website links or e-mail addresses of societies, institutes and university departments dedicated to Egyptology, the current page also seeks to provide a search facility for abbreviations of names of such organisations. Just use the Search button on your browser and enter an acronym (name abbreviation without interpunction); note that the definite article is sometimes officially part of the acronym (only in such cases the article is included in the name).

Museums are NOT included. For those, see Desheret's Online Museum Guide (overview of museums worldwide containing Egyptian objects).

For now, the page has the same (non-alphabetical) geographical setup as EEF NEWS:
