The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $194,346 grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) to President and Fellows of Harvard College to support the scholarly edition and digital archiving of a unique collection of 73 Arabic field diaries documenting over 30 years of archaeological excavations in Egypt and Sudan conducted by the Harvard-Boston Museum of Fine Arts Expedition between 1913-1947. This 3-year project will translate and publish 3 select volumes from the collection, while also creating a comprehensive digital archive of all 73 volumes to promote Egyptian Arabic as a language of research and further decolonize the field of Egyptology.
