ABOUT
EEO/SC
|
The
nonprofit Egypt Exploration Organization of Southern California
(EEO/SC) hosts
a steady stream of the world's leading Egyptologists for monthly
public lectures and
other events. With nearly 100 members, EEO/SC is one of the largest
and most active
supporters of public lectures about the exploration of Egypt. In
fact, we have
produced more than 600 such events over the past 25+ years.
EEO/SC publishes a newsletter noting upcoming lectures as well as other local Egyptological
events at venues such as Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Fowler Museum at
UCLA, Bowers Museum in Santa Ana, as well as activities of the Egyptian Tourist Authority.
The name
of
our group was
derived to honor the founder of modern Egyptology, Sir William
Flinders Petrie,
whose original support group was called the Egypt Exploration
Fund and
is now known as the Egypt Exploration Society in London, England.
Suggested
donation for attending a lecture is $10.
Most lectures are held in members' homes in Los Angeles.
