The
Beazley Archive (BA) is a research unit of the Faculty of Classics
under the direction of Dr Donna Kurtz, Reader in
Archaeology (classical)
and Fellow of Wolfson College. The original archive of Sir John Beazley,
Lincoln Professor of
Classical Archaeology and
Art from 1925 until 1956, was purchased for the faculty in 1965. On his
death in 1970 it was
brought to the Ashmolean
Museum. Within a few years the personal archive of material relating to
the study of classical
archaeology and art was
transformed into a research resource for students and senior scholars.
It consisted of photographs,
notes, drawings, books and
impressions from engraved gems. The photographs of Athenian vases are the
largest archive of
this class in the world
and were the basis of Beazley's life work.
The
Dictionary contains illustrated explanations of names, technical terms,
and other vocabulary relating to Greek history, myth, geography, art and
architecture. It is
constantly being updated
and expanded.
