On Campus
U.C. Berkeley undergraduate students keep the magic of archaeology alive throughout the academic year by working for the Nemea Excavation Archives. Students work on digitizing old slides, notebooks, and drawings as well as updating and archiving new ones. Students work with the director, Dr. Kim Shelton, to respond to requests made by outside scholars, to prepare material for publication, and to responsibly curate the archival collection housed here.
