Since its foundation in 1886, the British School at Athens has been involved in some of the most important archaeological projects conducted in Greece and Cyprus. Although most early scholars concentrated on Classical themes, the School has always had a wide remit, and now prides itself on being a centre for research in all the humanities as related to Greece, as well as the field of archaeological science. The School publishes three series, a Supplementary Series reporting on fieldwork projects, Archaeological Monographs describing particular research projects or the proceedings of conferences, and Fitch Laboratory Occasional Papers describing the scientific work of the Fitch Laboratory, as well as a yearly journal, the Annual of the BSA.
