"A Chronicle No Longer Gold: Re-presenting the Oxford Archive in 2022"
with Dr. Richard Parkinson

In 2022, the Griffith Institute archive commemorated the anniversary of the re-discovery of the tomb with an exhibition at the Bodleian Libraries and an accompanying publication ‘Tutankhamun: Excavating the Archive’. The lecture will discuss the contemporaneous receptions that influenced the initial planning of the book and the exhibition, through the cultural attitudes expressed in early 20th-century popular narratives, and the ways in which the exhibition tried to address these stereotypes in order to showcase the archive as a partial product of its historical context. -
