Centennial Gala Celebration June 28
The Albright Institute invites you to a gala evening at 7.00 PM on June 28 to celebrate the centennial of the opening of our iconic building in Jerusalem. Although we navigate uncertain times, it is important that the Albright honor a century of advancing U.S. research excellence in archaeology, biblical studies, and related fields — and to reaffirm our commitment to the region for the century ahead.
Tickets are $60 and include all food and beverages. Link to Tickets
We look forward to celebrating with you this historic milestone in the history of the Albright Institute.
Independence Day Celebration June 29
As part of our Centennial weekend, please join us to celebrate an early US Independence Day from 2pm on June 29. This informal event is free of charge, but we kindly ask that you reserve a ticket here to help us with catering.
We welcome inquiries and proposals for internships at the Albright Institute. Past interns have specialized in archaeology, cultural heritage, lab management, communications, and administration at the Albright. Please contact us at albrightinstitute@aiar.org or speak with our director to inquire.
The library serves the needs of Albright fellows and is a primary
resource for students and scholars from the other foreign institutes in
Jerusalem and from the local Israeli and Palestinian academic
communities. The collection contains more than 35,000 volumes,
including 450 journal titles relating to all aspects of ancient Near
Eastern studies, with a concentration in Levantine archaeology and
Semitic languages and literature.
The history of the Albright is the history of American archaeology in the Near East. Our fascinating history is replete with turn-of-the-century adventures on horseback, wars at our front door, an assassination, monks buried in the backyard, and countless contributions and innovations.
