Yesterday evening, 4 October 2018, the Society was delighted to host a lecture by Dr Rosie Llewellyn-Jones MBE, \u201c\u2018My Dear Schomberg\u2019: Letters from Sir Aurel Stein\u201d. Highlighting a hitherto unstudied collection of letters between Sir Aurel Stein and Colonel Reginald Schomberg, Rosie was able to provide a new insight into the character and personality of Aurel Stein, as well as fresh perspectives on his archaeological work. We look forward to further discoveries stemming from Rosie\u2019s research into this fascinating correspondence.<\/p>\n

Such a lecture always stimulates an interest in the character of the man and the material that he amassed in his lifetime. We are fortunate at the Society to own many of his works and also a large collection of photographs that were taken in readiness for his publications. These have been previously blogged<\/a> about and more information can be found about them in the\u00a0Photographic Collections on our website.<\/a>\u00a0Details of each of the photos can be found on our online catalogue<\/a>.<\/p>\n
