The Legacy of Louis Leakey Audio file: "The Leakey family is synonymous with the search for the origins of humankind. The late Louis Leakey, born 100 years ago today, started a dynasty of fossil hunters who still explore the sediments of East Africa. For National Geographic Radio Expeditions, NPR's Christopher Joyce reports on the legacy of the Leakey family patriarch." Also audio files on interviews with Richard Leakey and his daughter, Dr Louise Leakey.
The Giza Archives Project. The Giza Archives Project Web site aims to become the world's central repository for the archaeological history of the site. It is a work in progress that will evolve to better serve the scholarly community. We strive to resolve inconsistencies and discrepancies in the original excavation records and numbering schemes, and look forward to learning of mistakes, solutions, and suggestions from our Web users. Additional archaeological materials, old and new, published and unpublished, black-and-white and color, are in preparation. The Global Egyptian Museum Produced, maintained and devloped by the Centre for Computer-aided Egyptological Research (CCER), "in this virtual Egyptian museum, thirteen European collections, working together in the Champollion project, are currently displaying a total of 6,600 artefacts from their collections in one joint exhibition. By the end of the year 2004, the number of objects will have increased to 17,500. The GEM and its collections, with extensive object information, description, documentation and explanation, is accessible in seven languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese and Spanish". You are required to create a login which will permit you 24 free access, after which you will need to pay a subscription for unlimited access: "Private individuals who become members of the Friends of the GEM will be charged EUR 50 a year for unrestricted access to the virtual museum. Institutions may subscribe to gain unrestricted access. The annual subscription depends on the type of institution: schools EUR 100, museums, public libraries, research institutes EUR 250 and universities EUR 1000 (campus license)." This is a very noteworthy project and I wish it all the success it deserves.
