Support AWMC

Support the Ancient World Mapping Center

The initial success of the AWMC reinforces the importance of safeguarding its smooth operation for the indefinite future. To that end, we have created a fund to permanently support its core staff and activities, including the acquisition of research materials and the operation of a vigorous teaching and outreach program. This endowment will provide a secure annual budget in perpetuity, ensuring that the Center continues to serve as a source of information and expertise, conducting research, teaching and public service missions.
