What you’ll do
Hear about the Egyptian Society, the first of its kind, which emerged during the 18th century as interest in antiquarian study peaked. Using correspondence held in Wellcome Collection, Professor Anna Marie Roos will argue that the society can be seen as much more than the drinking club it is sometimes portrayed as, but rather as a group that promoted the development of early archaeology and early modern antiquarianism.
Following presentations from our speaker, there will be an opportunity to discuss her ideas.
