Become a Guardian of Egyptian History

Imagine a world where the rich landscape of Egyptian history fades into obscurity, where hieroglyphs, objects, art, and traditions that define Egyptian culture are lost.

Every dollar you give to ARCE continues the preservation of Egypt’s diverse cultural heritage. Together, we can ensure that the stories of our past continue to be preserved for the future.

Guardians of Egyptian History make an IMPACT in:

  • Protection of cultural heritage from climate change.
  • Restoration of ancient artifacts that tell the stories and the secrets of our ancestors.
  • Climate Change Recovery: water damage often requires rapid intervention to protect vulnerable sites. Your contributions will allow ARCE to respond swiftly and effectively to safeguard against deterioration.
  • Prevention of historical sites from the damage of time and neglect.
  • Education through the support of outreach and activities across American communities.
  • Research critical for strengthening front-line study essential for understanding Egypt’s past for future generations.
  • Training to increase professional development of scholars and future Egyptologists, archaeologists and conservators.
