In 1887, the University of Pennsylvania agreed to sponsor an expedition to the Near East. The idea was conceived by Reverend
John Punnett Peters, University of Pennsylvania Professor of Hebrew. Nippur was a pre-Biblical city-state located in the region
between the Tigris and Euphrates, the area believed to be the "cradle of civilization." The museum conducted four expeditions
between 1889 and 1898. The textual records for Nippur consist of 20 linear feet of files are arranged by Expedition (I, II,
III, IV), as well as publications, maps and drawings. The documents for each expedition are separated according to type: Field
Notes, Reports and Narratives, Correspondence, Financial Records.
