Acknowledgements: Credit Where Credit is Due

This project has two points of origin

1) For the general idea of a forum for the subject: Long standing conversations about the history of the Oriental Institute among the funding participants, and between them and many others now or formerly at the Oriental Institute and The University of Chicago and elsewhere.

2) For the specific idea of a blog as the location of the forum: To my friend and colleague David Gill, who is single handedly doing the same sort of thing on the History of the British School at Athens.
