About our chapter's members

Our chapter connects its members and the general public to the abundant educational and cultural resources related to Egypt in the DC area, including lectures at the Embassy of Egypt. We also offer constant updates on social media about the latest news in Egyptology, and about virtual lectures offered around the world.
Members of ARCE DC come from all walks of life and share a professional or layman's interest in Egypt's art, archaeology, history, politics, and culture. The majority live in Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia, but some members are located elsewhere—a quarter of our members are now located in places as distant as Egypt and South Africa.
