| Description | The British Institute in Eastern Africa promotes research into the archaeology, history, linguistics, and anthropology of eastern Africa, broadly defined. It is based in Nairobi where it maintains a library and research facilities. The Institute undertakes and supports research in countries throughout the region, from Zimbabwe to the Sudan. It is supported by the British Academy, and is governed by a Council, elected by its members, which is based in London. This parent collection holds the digitised data of archives held at the BIEA's Nairobi base. They relate to archaeological excavations and reconnaissance at key locations in the region, including some of the BIEA's flagship projects at sites like Aksum, Ethiopia, and Kilwa Kisiwani, Tanzania. This archive seeks to preserve this information for future researchers, and to make it available beyond Nairobi. |
