New History Web site is "live"

The new Web site for the Department of History at The University of Memphis, of which this blog is a part, has been under test for several weeks. Today, it was placed online instead of the old pages. If you haven't seen it yet, check it out at http://history.memphis.edu/

KARNAK GREAT HYPOSTYLE HALL PROJECT

One of the places that we expect to get a lot of reports from is Peter Brand's KARNAK GREAT HYPOSTYLE HALL PROJECT, which has a nice Web site. Peter usually takes a group to Egypt every fall to continue work on the epigraphy of the hall. While we're awaiting his next trip, you can visit his site on the Web to get the flavor of the project. It's a very informative site, full of interesting pictures.
