The BILNAS Archive is a rich resource of material relating to Libyan and Northern African history, archaeology and culture. It covers a great variety of material, from David Smith’s archaeological plans of the Byzantine fortress at Tocra to correspondence with King Idris’s beekeeper.
Much of the archive is related to archaeological excavations, some of which are as yet unpublished.
This lecture, by BILNAS Archivist Felicity Crowe, examines the history of the Archive, current work to catalogue the material and improve its accessibility, and future plans for the collection.
