The Center for the Tebtunis Papyri (CTP) houses the largest collection of Egyptian manuscripts this side
of Oxford and a first-class library devoted to Graeco-Roman Egypt. It is a worldwide leader in
papyrological research (including the application of new technologies to manuscript study) and provides
hands-on educational opportunities to Berkeley students of all levels and members of the community at
large. Students in the Group have long supported CTP’s initiatives through its graduate student researcher
program, while CTP regularly funds AHMA student research and fieldwork in areas that are germane to its
interests. It offers opportunities for training and publication in papyrology, as well as graduate student
research assistantships and financial support for attending conferences related to papyrology and for
participating in excavations in Egypt. The current Director of the CTP is Professor Todd Hickey.
