The Akhenaten Temple Project was the first computer project assumed by the University of Pennsylvania Museum. It was proposed
in 1965 by Ray Winfield Smith, and in 1966 he began the project with the aid of IBM’s nascent computer technology. The IBM
computer was abandoned in 1976. This collection spans Ray Winfield Smith’s entire involvement as director of the project 1968-1971,
and begins the career of Dr. Donald B. Redford who acted as a consultant in 1971 and has been director since 1972. The records
contain papers and photographs relating to the foundation of the Akhenaten Temple Project, and are divided into seven series:
Financial; Correspondence and Reports; Publications and Publicity; Project Negatives; Photographs; Drawings; Misc.
