| The ARCE Sphinx Project Archive conserved and made accessible the archive of the 1979-1983 ARCE Sphinx Project, the only systemic survey and architectural study of the Great Sphinx of Giza. The project catalogued, digitized and posted online through Open source photographs, architectural drawings, maps, notes, journal entries, narratives reports that for more than 35 years at the time, remained largely unpublished and otherwise inaccessible to Egyptologists, archaeologists, and art historians. The ARCE Sphinx Project Archive contributes a unique record towards understanding the Sphinx as a complex archaeological and architectural site in its own right. |
