Announcing Northwest (Washington State) Chapter of the American Research
Center in Egypt (ARCE/NW)

We are pleased to announce the formation of the American Research Center
in Egypt, Northwest Chapter (ARCE/NW). This chapter will serve Washington
State and promote the goals of the national organization (information on
the parent organization below).

In addition to the member benefits provided by the national organization,
ARCE/NW will provide members with a newsletter and web site that addresses
all eras of Egyptian history and important Chapter news. Our web site will
be ready by 2/15. ARCE/NW also plans to offer informal discussion groups
where lay and professional scholars of Egypt can learn in a relaxing
atmosphere.

We will be announcing our first lecture and discussion group soon.

For more information on ARCE/NW and its events, please contact us by email

About ARCE

ARCE is a nonprofit organization founded in 1948 by a consortium of
educational and cultural institutions to support research in Egypt on all
phases of Egyptian civilization and culture and to promote and strengthen
American-Egyptian cultural ties.

ARCE is recognized by the Egyptian government as the exclusive vehicle for
facilitating research by Americans and American institutions in Egypt. It
provides a permanent base in Cairo for American scholars conducting
research on Egypt from prehistory to the present day.

Programs and activities conducted and supported by ARCE and its chapters
include seminars, public lectures, short courses, educational tourism,
archaeological excavations and surveys, conservation projects,
publications, and the operation of research libraries.
