| Summary: | The recent acquisition of the Hogarth Archive by Magdalen College Archives provides new insights to be achieved on the extraordinary work of David George Hogarth as one of the preeminent scholars of the Balkans and Middle East in the last half of the 19th and the early 20th century. He was a committee member of the Palestine Exploration Fund (PEF) and director of the British Museum excavations at Carchemish. His role in the Wilderness of Zin Survey, a joint effort by the War Office and the PEF to map the region of Sinai in the anticipated advent of war with Turkey, has been further illuminated by the discovery of new letters written by C. Leonard Woolley and T. E. Lawrence. |
