Support for Archaeology

The
Archaeology program at PTS has been made possible through the efforts of
faculty, staff, and volunteers, and the generosity of donors.
Three gifts have a key role in continuing
the tradition of archaeological research and education at PTS
Jamieson-Trotter Endowment Fund
The George Trotter family established the
Jamieson-Trotter Endowment Fund in 1989 to honor Howard Jamieson, a PTS
alumnus and professor of biblical theology (1955-1970). The fund
supplements the Seminary's archaeology program by providing scholarships
for students to participate in field projects in the Middle East, additional support for the annual archaeology lecture, and for museum
purchases and projects that fall outside the Museum's regular budget.
G. Albert Shoemaker Chair of Bible and
Archaeology The Seminary
established the G. Albert Shoemaker Chair of Bible and Archaeology in
1989 to express its continued commitment to research and teaching in
biblical archaeology. William R.
Jackson Sr. Endowment Fund A
generous gift from William R. Jackson Sr. in 1998 provided funds
for two components of archaeology program at the Seminary: the
renovation and expansion of the James L. Kelso Bible Lands Museum and
the establishment of a substantial endowment to support archaeological
field work. For information about
