Egypt Exploration Society raises funds for Internships

This article was first published by the Egypt Exploration Society.

The Egypt Exploration Society is preparing for the future redevelopment of their London premises, they want to ensure that we’re using every opportunity to support the next generation of scholars. They want to run a series of internships in our collections to help manage their packing and relocation. By doing this with a bigger team, the society can ensure that much of our collection is made available during the redevelopment both online and via recall from off-site storage.

This mammoth task cannot be completed by the current team alone, so they want to give early career scholars the opportunity to gain on-the-job training and skills as well as the chance to play an essential role in our future plans. 

The Society needs to raise £10,000 in 2024, which could sponsor 5 interns (3 days per week for one month). This would include a grant to each intern, alongside equipment and training provided by our Collections Manager, who will be monitoring the project. They hope to begin this essential work in 2025-26 before redevelopment can begin.
