PROMOTION AND PRESERVATION OF ANTIQUITIES - THE AMERICAN RESEARCH CENTER IN EGYPT IS COMMITTED TO HELPING EGYPT PRESERVE ITS RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE FOR THE BENEFIT OF FUTURE GENERATIONS WORLDWIDE. IN COLLABORATION WITH EGYPT'S SUPREME COUNCIL OF ANTIQUITIES, ARCE WORKS TO PRESERVE THE COUNTRY'S ANTIQUITIES THROUGH DOCUMENTATION, CONSERVATION, TRAINING, AND PUBLICATION. THE SCOPE OF OUR WORK HAS INCLUDED MORE THAN 50 MAJOR CONSERVATION PROJECTS THROUGHOUT EGYPT THAT SPAN THE ENTIRE RANGE OF THE COUNTRY'S RICH CULTURAL HISTORY, FROM PREHISTORY TO THE LATE OTTOMAN PERIOD, INCLUDING MASTERPIECES OF PHARAONIC, GRAECO-ROMAN, COPTIC, JEWISH, AND ISLAMIC ART AND ARCHITECTURE.

RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS - OVER THE COURSE OF FIVE DECADES, ARCE'S FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM HAS BENEFITED MORE THAN 620 SCHOLARS, WHOSE RESEARCH INTERESTS SPAN THE DIVERSITY OF EGYPT'S PERIODS AND CULTURES. THE GOAL OF ARCE'S FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM IS TO PROMOTE A MORE PROFOUND KNOWLEDGE OF EGYPT AND THE NEAR EAST THROUGH STUDY AND RESEARCH AND TO AID IN THE TRAINING OF AMERICAN SPECIALISTS IN ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES THAT REQUIRE FAMILIARITY WITH EGYPT. PROGRAM ALUMNI INCLUDE DIRECTORS AND FACULTY OF MIDDLE EASTERN STUDIES DEPARTMENTS AT LEADING UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES AND ABROAD, AND CURATORS OF EGYPTIAN AND NEAR EASTERN ART AT MAJOR MUSEUMS AND RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS.

PUBLIC PROGRAMS - AMERICAN-EGYPTIAN RELATIONS ARE AT THE CORE OF WHAT ARCE DOES. PUBLIC PROGRAMS CONSTITUTE A VITAL LINK IN CARRYING OUT ARCE'S MISSION OF FOSTERING BROADER KNOWLEDGE AND APPRECIATION OF EGYPT AMONG THE GENERAL PUBLIC IN THE UNITED STATES. WE CARRY OUT THIS MISSION BY SUPPORTING 13 LOCAL CHAPTERS, OFFERING CAIRO LECTURES AND EDUCATIONAL EXCURSIONS, HOSTING AN ANNUAL CONFERENCE, AND PROVIDING PUBLICATIONS ABOUT ARCE-SPONSORED PROJECTS IN EGYPT TO OUR MEMBERS.
