Archaeological Society of Alexandria

The Archaeological Society of Alexandria (formerly the Royal Archaeological Society of Alexandria) was established in 7 April 1893[1] in Alexandria, Egypt[2][3][4] to ensure the archaeological monuments and remains of the old city of Alexandria preserved and to raise awareness through high-quality research into the city's archaeological past.

Work

In 1938 the Society supervised the second edition of E. M. Forster’s Alexandria: A History and a Guide.[3]

The Archaeological Society of Alexandria with funds from the A. G. Leventis foundation and permission and supervision of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities initiated the Alexandria Necropolis Project (2020–2023) that restored the Hellenistic necropolis at Shatby.[5]
