Dr Abeer Eladany is a Curatorial Assistant at the University of Aberdeen Collections. She is an Egyptologist, a museum professional, an archaeologist, has worked in the Egyptian Museum at the start of her career in Egypt, and has over 30 years of experience working in the museum sector both in Egypt and in the UK. She studied at Cairo, Helwan, Manchester and Aberdeen universities. Her main research interests are related to mummified Ancient Egyptians, History of Egyptology, and Museology, particularly Ethics and Repatriation. Abeer is a trustee of the Egypt Exploration Society, chair of its Collection Committee and a member of the Museums Galleries Scotland board of trustees. She has been elected to the ICOM UK board of trustees and she has been its treasurer since 2023. She is a member of ICOM Working Group on Decolonisation, collaborating with international colleagues from the archaeological and museum sectors to provide recommendations for ICOM and museums worldwide. In 2020, Abeer joined the Slavery, Empire and Scottish Museums steering group that has published its recommendations following a large public consultation regarding how Scotland’s existing and future museum collections and spaces can better recognise and represent a more accurate portrayal of Scotland’s colonial and slavery history.

The University of Aberdeen houses one of the largest Egyptian Collections in Scotland. Most of the objects were collected over the last few centuries through donations from alumni who travelled to and worked in Egypt throughout the 19th century, some occasional purchases from auctions and through subscription to the Egypt Exploration Fund.

This talk will highlight some of the recent research regarding the collectors, the donors, and the early curators who contributed to cataloguing the collection.
