The ACOR Photo Archive:  https://acor.digitalrelab.com/

The American Center of Oriental Research (ACOR) in Amman, Jordan, is proud to share its new web-based photo archive that features close to 10,000 high-resolution digital images of cultural heritage sites from Jordan and the surrounding region. The online archive, being developed with a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, includes spectacular images of hundreds of sites in Jordan, Syria, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia taken by renowned author and photographer Jane Taylor, as well as a growing collection of photographs of Jordan by famed journalist (and archaeological enthusiast) Rami Khouri. Other recently added collections include photographs by Linda K. Jacobs and Charles Wilson.   

In coming years, the archive will continue to grow as new collections from ACOR’s rich archival holdings are digitized and made available. To search the ACOR Photo Archive, please visit: https://acor.digitalrelab.com/. You can also follow @acorarchives on Instagram.
