The American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE) is a scholarly institution dedicated to supporting the conservation of Egyptian antiquities and research in Egyptology, Coptology and all periods of Egyptian history. The center is a member of the Council of American Overseas Research Centers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=American Overseas Research Centers )〕 ==History== ARCE was founded in 1948 in Boston by Edward W. Forbes, then the director of the Fogg Museum at Harvard, and Sterling Dow, then president of the Archaeological Institute of America, with the intention of creating a research center in Egypt on the model of similar institutions in Greece and Rome. The center's Egyptian headquarters opened in 1951 in an office at the Office of U.S. Information and Educational Exchange in the American Embassy in Cairo. Throughout its early years, the center received substantial funding from the United States Department of State. In 1962, the first edition of the Journal of the American Research Center in Egypt was published. All American staff were evacuated from Egypt during the Six-Day War, but returned after the cessation of hostilities, even though the United States and Egypt would not resume normal diplomatic relations until 1974. In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake in 1992, ARCE was chosen by USAID to administer an American-funded initiative to restore damage done to Egypt's tangible cultural heritage. This work, which resulted in the completion of more than fifty conservation projects throughout Egypt, was directed by Robert K. Vincent, Jr. until his death in 2007.〔''Preserving Egypt's Cultural Heritage'', Danforth, R. ed. ARCE 2010〕
