Montreal Chapter

Created in Montreal in November 1999, the Société pour l'Étude de l'Égypte Ancienne (SEEA) is the Montreal Chapter of the Society for the Study of Egyptian Antiquities (SSEA). The SSEA is a Toronto-based charitable organization founded in 1969 and duly incorporated the 10th of August 1970 under the laws of the province of Ontario. The Society was founded to stimulate interest in Egyptology, to assist those interested - professionals and non-professionals alike - with research and training in the field, and to sponsor and promote archaeological expeditions to Egypt.

In 1980, the Society established the Canadian Institute in Egypt, and on January 1, 1981, the Society and its Institute became an affiliate of the Canadian Mediterranean Institute. In September 1982 an official protocol was signed between Egypt and Canada which established the Institute as an official cultural presence in Egypt at its premises in Cairo. In 1984, a new Chapter of the SSEA was created in Calgary and in 1995, Dr. Robert Chadwick initiated the Montreal Chapter.
