John Ross, one of the best-known modern photographers of Egypt, died in Oxford on December 6, 2006. Some 2,500 colour transparencies of his photographs have recently been donated to the Archive of the Griffith Institute by his wife, Mrs Judy Ross. These pictures are now being catalogued by Elizabeth Fleming and Jaromir Malek and scanned and colour edited by Jenni Navratil. They will gradually appear on the Griffith Institute’s website and be made available to Egyptologists as well as editors and picture researchers (contact griffith.institute@orinst.ox.ac.uk).
