Research
Nicky van de Beek is a NINO Visiting Research Fellow working on two projects that are closely linked together and tied to the field of Egyptology at large as it developed in Leiden during the 20th century:
- Digital epigraphy and collation of facsimile drawings of the tomb chapel of Hetepherakhty at the National Museum of Antiquities, in cooperation with Dr. René van Walsem. Preparation of a manuscript for publication by Sidestone Press in the museum’s PALMA series. The book will include a chapter on the history of the mastaba tomb as it was excavated and transported to Leiden, where it was studied by Herta Mohr during the 1930s.
- Continuation of research on archival materials in the Netherlands, especially correspondence between Herta Mohr and Arie Kampman. Preparation of one or more new publications about the first female Egyptologist in Leiden, after whom NINO’s new location is named.
