About the Winifred Lamb Personal Papers
The Winifred Lamb Personal Papers largely cover the life and work of the pioneering British female archaeologist during her time in Greece and Turkey between 1918 and 1952.
The collection contains letters, a travel diary, essays, offprints, photographs and photograph albums, created by Winifred during her academic career. They especially relate to her travels and excavations at Greek sites such as Sparta and Mycenae, where she first worked as a BSA Student, and then others such as Thermi on the island of Lesvos and Kusura in Turkey, where she became the Director of the excavations- the first female BSA Student to do so. The papers also include descriptions of Winifred's time at the BSA, Greek life and significant events during this period.
