40. Amelia Edwards Projects 2014:
• Book sponsorship: Caminos notes on Gebel Silsileh, second book
on Shatt er Rigal,
• Amelia Edwards conservation project: Certainly includes
watercolour; could include conservation of novel, boxes for 1st ed of
1000 miles up the Nile (in 2v)
• Online archive: Intern to (re)scan / watermark and catalogue
Amarna cards, link to publication of items
• Display cabinet: Probably not AEP. Hazel will investigate whether
we can locate one cheaply without needing to raise money
• EES Fellowships: 3-6 month placements of UK-based Egyptologists
in Cairo office to carry out training etc
• Completing the EES collection in the Cairo office: transportation of
EES back catalogue
