Norman and Nina de Garis Davies Theban Tomb Tracings Project*
The Griffith Institute has now completed the project to identify and
digitize over 1000 tracings made by Norman and Nina de Garis Davis in
Theban tombs in the early twentieth century. These tracings were too
fragile for consultation and therefore unavailable up until 10 years ago
when the whole collection was rehoused and a systematic digitization
programme initiated.
This important resource is now available for consultation on the
Griffith Institute website
High resolution scans of all of the tracings are available, for further
information please email: griffith.institute@orinst.ox.ac.uk
We would like to thank everyone involved with this project, especially
Ms Jenni Navratil and Dr Hana Navratilova for the long hours spent
photographing the original tracings and subsequent digital editing, and
Dr Jaromir Malek for his direction and patience.
Over 1000 tracings by Norman and Nina de Garis Davies of scenes in
Theban tombs are now available on the Griffith Institute's website
