THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE TO BRITISH EGYPTOLOGICAL SOCIETIES 2006—2007
Other Egyptological Special Interest Organisations
A number of other groups and organisations play an important
role on the British Egyptological scene, but for various reasons
they are not included in the directory’s main listing — because,
for example, they do not have subscription-paying members, or
they are not concerned primarily with Egyptology. Prominent among
them are:
