The American photographer John Ross who died in Oxford on December 6, 2006, recorded in his stunningly beautiful pictures Egypt and its cultural heritage from all periods. Some 2,500 colour transparencies have been most generously donated to the Archive of the Griffith Institute by his wife, Mrs Judy Ross. These pictures will gradually be published on this web site and made available to Egyptologists as well as editors and picture researchers (please contact griffith.institute@orinst.ox.ac.uk).

High-resolution scans of these photographs are available for reproduction.
