Deborah Harlan is a UK-based independent scholar who has published on historical photographs of classical lands: academic lantern slide teaching collections, travel photographs in the late Victorian period, the photographs of William Stillman, and the photographs by the Hellenic Travellers’ Club. Based on her professional experience with libraries and archives, she catalogued, digitised, and studied the British School at Athens’ SPHS photographic collection, while in residence at the British School at Athens from 2015 to 2022.
