Preserving the legacy of the Buhen excavation through the Egypt Exploration Society oral history
In short: This video features Professor Harry Smith sharing his personal recollections of the Buhen excavation. It serves as a vital record of archaeological history, made possible through the Egypt Exploration Society's oral history project and the archival film footage provided by Dr. Hovenden.
The Egypt Exploration Society launched an oral history project to document the firsthand experiences of those involved in significant archaeological work. Professor Harry Smith provides his reminiscences of the Buhen site, offering a unique perspective on the excavation process that complements the visual record captured on film by Dr. Hovenden.
The project was made possible by the transcription efforts of Dr. Alice Stevenson and financial support from the Amelia Edwards Group. These contributions ensure that the personal narratives of researchers like Professor Smith are preserved for future study.
