Documentation used for the preparation of publications.

• Seven glass negatives of the following Harry Burton photographs. Annotations on the original housing indicate these were copied from Howard Carter's set of lantern slides [TAA i.8]. Some of the housing is also marked 'P.F.' so they may have been made on behalf of Penelope Fox for Tutankhamun's Treasures (1951), although not all of the images in this group are included in the publication.

Percy Newberry's series of notebooks includes notebooks on single subjects, indexed notebooks on a range of subjects and research journals. Many of the notebooks have been numbered (in the form NB followed by a number) by Newberry and are referenced elsewhere in his research notes. As such it appears that these notebooks were used as reference books by Newberry, and they often include lists of bibliographic references for a subject.

Unfortunately it is evident that this series of notebooks is not complete and there are numbered notebooks referred to in Newberry's research material that do not appear to be in the collection.

Along with the subject files and notebooks is a large body of research material that does not have any apparent order. It includes several draft manuscripts, card indexes, research notes, tracings, drawings, and photographs. Topics include predynastic Egypt, Egyptian antiquities including scarabs and seals, ancient Egyptian religion as well as relating to research on sites in Egypt including copies of inscriptions, plans and drawings.

In a letter on the transfer of the Newberry collection to the Griffith Institute Archive in 1951 Dr I. E. S. Edwards (Keeper of Egyptian Antiquities at the British Museum) lists: Tracings of tomb inscriptions and decorations (packed in brown trunk); A group of texts and other material dealing with the Second Intermediate Period; and a large collection of "scholar's notes" on various subjects for the most part classified but in some cases merely labelled "Miscellaneous notes". It is this material which now constitutes this series. This material was arranged during previous archival processing according to subject and evidence of this work is still visible by the grouping and labelling of material.

It has been difficult to determine the date of much of this research material. Where a date range is provided it is often based on publications referenced by Newberry in his notes.

Material other than excavation records.

Photographs of Coptic papyri from EES excavations at Qasr Ibrim, now in Cambridge University’s Oriental Faculty.

A complete set of De Keersmaecker's publications on early travellers' graffiti from Egypt and the Sudan, presenting graffiti left by (mostly) European visitors at sites during the nineteenth century (print volumes and Word files).

• Volumes I-XII
• Index to volumes I-XII
• Additional volumes [I], II, III.[I]-II-[III].

Most publications represent a single site or part of a site, and within each publication, the graffiti are organised in groups:

• Graffiti with names with a date also recorded, arranged chronologically, supplemented by biographical information
• Graffiti with names without accompanying dates, arranged alphabetically, supplemented by biographical information
• 'Unclassifiable' graffiti, partial names or initials
• Index of names
• Photographs of a selection of graffiti
• Short essays on individuals
• Bibliography.

The Word files, from which the PDFs uploaded here have been created, seem to be the original version of the publications. They present some dissimilarities with the final print volumes. The set of print volumes contain some annotations and related loose documents, both added later by De Keersmaecker.
