Highlights of the Collections

Fieldwork Excavations, Expeditions and Research archive collection

The Kenyon Institute fulfils a dual mission: it is an active research centre for those studying subjects within the Humanities and Social Sciences, and a custodian of the intellectual and documentary legacy of 20th- and 21st-century excavations. Its archives include notebooks, plans, photographs, reports and correspondence of leading figures such as John Garstang, Kathleen Kenyon, James L. Starkey, C. R. A. Crowfoot, Basil Hennessy, Diana Helbaek, Crystal Bennett, and others. These materials, along with fragile negatives, historical maps, and architectural drawings, are essential for site reinterpretation, ongoing research, and providing primary evidence for new generations of scholars.
