An Egyptological archive at Oxford
The Tutankhamun Spatial Archive builds on the Griffith Institute’s long-standing commitment to preserving and sharing the complete archaeological record of Tutankhamun’s tomb. Drawing on decades of digitisation work, the project transforms thousands of documents, many never before published online, into a single interlinked database that allows users to explore the tomb and its contents in entirely new ways.
How the Tutankhamun Archive continues to shape research and public engagement
For over a century, the Tutankhamun Archive has inspired scholars, students, and the public alike. The new Tutankhamun Spatial Archive continues this legacy by expanding how people can engage with one of the most significant archaeological discoveries ever made.
This resource is not simply a digital collection, it is a platform for exploration, research, and learning that connects the past with the tools of the present....
This is a beta launch, and we’d love to hear your thoughts. If you have time, please email us with any suggestions, comments, or features you’ve particularly enjoyed. Thank you in advance — The Griffith Institute Team
