ARCE national chapters are
based in cities thoughout the United States, many of them with
museums, universities, or research institutions with particular
strengths in fields related to Egypt and the Near East. Drawing
on this expertise, ARCE chapters host lectures, conduct symposia,
sponsor book-discussion groups, show films from and about Egypt
unavailable through conventional distribution channels, sponsor
tours of exhibitions at local and neighboring museums, and conduct
much-needed fundraising programs for excavations in Egypt.
For more information about ARCE's chapters, see the Chapters webpage.
The following chapters have lectures scheduled for the upcoming
