Women Transcending Boundaries: Over a century of scholarship, fieldwork and friendship across the British International Research Institutes – at the British Academy Summer Showcase 2025
Look out for our digital history of women archaeologists, ‘Women Transcending Boundaries: Over a century of scholarship, fieldwork and friendship across the British International Research Institutes’, on display at The British Academy Summer Showcase, Friday 20 and Saturday 21 June 2025.
Explore our interactive history to learn about the interconnected lives and ground-breaking work of women archaeologists such as Eugénie Sellers Strong, Winifred Lamb, Yusra Al-Ḥaifawiyah and Kathleen Kenyon. From Rome to Ankara, from the Peloponnese to the Levant, we chart these women’s professional achievements, archaeological discoveries and the vibrant networks they formed in a male-dominated field.
Created by BIRI archivists and researchers drawing on material held in the British International Research Institutes’ (BIRI) archives.
Supported by the British Academy-funded BIRI Digital Coordination and Strategy project with the British School at Athens, the British Institute for Libyan and Northern African Studies, the British School at Rome, the Council for British Research in the Levant, The British Institute of Persian Studies, The British Institute at Ankara, British Institute for Libyan and Northern African Studies, British Institute in Eastern Africa & the British Institute for the Study of Iraq.
