EnglishHow to Contact SSAE or Follow Its Updates Online
Updated
The Society for the Study of Ancient Egypt (SSAE) provides several ways to get in touch and stay informed. You can reach the society through the Contact Us page on its website, follow its updates on Facebook and Twitter, and browse a Web Links page that collects related external resources. The site also lists upcoming lectures and events, which is often the fastest way to see what the society is currently doing.
Contacting the Society
The SSAE website includes a dedicated Contact Us page. This is the official route for questions about the society, its lectures, or membership. The site also notes that you can contact the society for more details about its activities.
If you prefer to attend in person rather than write first, the site states that there is no need to book for lectures — you can simply turn up at one of the meetings.
Following SSAE Online
The society maintains a presence on social media, and the website links directly to it:
- Facebook — the site includes a "Click HERE to follow us on Facebook" link.
- Twitter — the site displays tweets from the account @ssae.
These accounts are where short-notice changes or reminders are most likely to appear, so they are worth following alongside the main website.
Finding Related Resources
The site has a Web Links page described as "Web Links and . . .", which gathers external resources connected to Ancient Egypt. It is a useful starting point if you want to explore beyond the society's own material.
One thing to note: the site states that SSAE participates in the Amazon EU Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme. This means some Amazon links on the site may earn the society advertising fees. It does not affect how you contact the society or attend events.
Checking Events and Venues
The website lists upcoming talks with dates, times, and locations. From the site's current listing:
| Event | Speaker | Date and time | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Book of the Dead | Joel Sams | Saturday, 5th December, 1:30 pm | Chesterfield Library Lecture Theatre and on Zoom |
| Disease, disability and Healing in Ancient Egypt | Dr Sofia Aziz | Saturday, 10th October, 1:30 pm | Zoom only |
The society's two regular meeting venues are in Chesterfield and Nottingham. Some talks are held online via Zoom, and at least one listed event is Zoom-only, so check the individual event details before travelling.
The site states that beginners are welcome and no prior knowledge is required — just an interest in Egypt.
A Practical Note
The website shows a "last updated" date, and event details can change. Before relying on a date, time, or venue, confirm it on the SSAE site or its social media accounts, since those are the society's own channels for current information.
