Announcing the ASOR Photo Collection
ASOR is excited to announce the creation of a new online Photo Collection. The Photo Collection is designed as a resource for the ASOR community to share images of the Middle East, North Africa, and the wider Mediterranean world. The photos in this Collection have been submitted by ASOR members and celebrate the rich heritage of the regions in which the ASOR community works. ASOR is providing open access to these images for use in lectures and presentations. If you have questions about the Collection or would like to share your photos with the ASOR community, please email Marta Ostovich (programs@asor.org). View the collection here.
