The Archive  - The Society’s archive is a rapidly expanding resource. It contains the original records from the Society’s survey and excavation projects, currently those at Gabati, in the Northern Dongola Reach, at Kawa, at Jebel Umm Rowag and between Amri and Kirbekan above the Fourth Cataract. The archive for Soba East is also included.
  The archive also contains a large number of photographs, both prints, negatives and transparencies, both in black and white and colour, belonging to the RAF, I.E.S. Edwards, Laurence Kirwan, Rosalind Hawkes, Brian Haycock, Mr Gentle and Jean-Pierre Greenlaw, photographs spanning the years from the 1930s until the 1970s. Many are an invaluable record of sites long since destroyed particularly those of sites in the region of Lake Nasser and at Suakin. The archive also contains a large number of plans and elevations of houses at Suakin by Greenlaw, papers of Laurence Kirwan, maps, aerial photographs and satellite images.
