ANNOUNCEMENTS

  • The Parsons Papyrology Exhibit Case has been completed! Made possible by a generous gift by Gardner and Ann Parsons, the Parsons Case is dedicated to the permanent exhibit of material from the Papyrology Collection. It guarantees that from this point forward, the Papyrology Collection will always have at least one piece of ancient papyrus on display for public viewing. The Parsons Case is located in the Audubon Room on the first floor of the Hatcher Graduate Library.
  • Papyrus conservation is an extremely delicate and labor intensive process that can only be completed by highly trained experts. Because of this, the cost of proper conservation often lies outside our budget for much of our collection. Therefore, we are asking for your help. Learn how you can help conserve a papyrus today!
