ABOUT THE TRUST

The Charity was established for the advancement of education by means of promoting research in archaeology, ancient and classical sculpture, monuments and artifacts, archaeological investigation, exploration and excavation - particularly at Aphrodisias and elsewhere in the world - including the dissemination of all information, discoveries and results relating thereto or arising thereon, to the general public in the United Kingdom and elsewhere, through publication, lectures, restoration of ancient marbles and provision of sculpture casts. The Charity is administered on a day to day basis by its Trustees, with the assistance of volunteers. It has no employees.

Every year the Trust pays for a substantial amount of the research and conservation work at Aphrodisias. In particular it supports the British members of the Aphrodisias Team, headed by Professor R.R.R. Smith. In recent years the Trust has financed much of the conservation work carried out by Cliveden Conservation Workshop Ltd. under the direction of its late Director, Trevor Proudfoot.
