EES to receive major funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund

The Egypt Exploration Society is delighted to report that it is the recipient of a Development Phase grant of £61,321 from The National Lottery Heritage Fund to support its Building the Future Campaign. These funds will help us to develop a strong application for a full National Lottery delivery grant which will secure up to two-thirds of the Campaign target.

The Society’s cartonnage collection has never bene on public display but our new premises will provide a dedicated space for public engagement with our internationally significant collections.

The Building the Future Campaign will ensure the future security and sustainability of the Society’s irreplaceable collections, including the Oxyrhnychus Papyri, while making our work (in-person and online) accessible to everyone interested in the history of culture of Egypt.
