Palestine Exploration Quarterly Digitisation Project Completed

ByRob Bradshaw

For the last 10 years I have been digitising the public domain articles from the 1867-1926 issues of the Palestine Exploration Quarterly. This publication is a unique record of the work of the Palestine Exploration Fund in the Levant. You can now access over 2,160 articles by clicking here. Over time more articles will be added as they enter the public domain and as later issues become available to me for scanning. I will be featuring some of the individual articles in more detail over the coming weeks.
