Digital Egypt for Universities builds on the resources available from a university museum. It combines new technologies, in particular VRML, with the objects and archives of the museum to create attractive data-rich online resources for learners and teachers. The project is a collaborative one involving two sections within University College London, the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis and the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology.
