Studying the collections
Materials located in the BSA Museum, Archive, Fitch Laboratory and the Stratigraphical Museum-Knossos are available for in-house study by appointment only.
There are two ways to make an online request. For material available in the BSA Digital Collections, while browsing the website, you can click the ‘add to selection’ button associated with the relevant item for all the items you are interested in studying. When you visit this page again and select the "Online Request" button below, those items will automatically be included. On the resulting request form, you can add material that is not yet available on Digital Collections in the free text field labelled ‘Additional information.'
Alternately, if you wish to make a request without first selecting items from the website, just click the "Online Request" button below.
Further information about collections and applications can be found below via the relevant department:
A study permission to examine materials, if granted, does not include permission to publish those materials.
