CIPEG Journal No. 6 includes papers that were presented at the 2020 and 2021 CIPEG annual meetings, held online on 13-15 November 2020 and 5-7 November 2021. Due to unprecedented obstacles to scholarly research during this period, the CIPEG Journal exceptionally accepted report-style contributions that highlight the innovative and imaginative ways museums responded to challenges presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This Festschrift honours Emily Teeter, former curator at the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago. Colleagues and friends have contributed articles on a range of Egyptological and museological topics, including publications of museum objects, archival research into the history of collecting, and reports of educational and outreach projects in museums and on excavations.

Contributions published in CIPEG Journal no. 4 were presented at the 2019 CIPEG Annual Meeting, part of the 25^th ICOM General Conference held on 2–7 September in Kyoto, Japan. Papers were invited on the theme ‘The Future of Traditions: Paving the Way for Egyptian Collections Tomorrow’ as well as general museum work.  Additional contributions presented at the CIPEG International Symposium: Egyptological Research in Museums and Beyond, held on 10 September at the Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties, are included. Other articles related to ancient Egyptian and Sudanese collections and museums but not associated with the annual meeting and international symposium are also featured in the volume.

The 2018 CIPEG Annual Meeting was held on 4–7 September at The Egypt Centre/Y Ganolfan Eifftaidd, Swansea University, UK. Contributions published in CIPEG Journal no. 3 are papers presented either on the theme ‘Beating Barriers! Overcoming Obstacles to Achievement’ or related to general museum work. Other articles related to ancient Egyptian and Sudanese collections and museums but not associated with the annual meeting are also featured in the volume.

Many of the contributions published in CIPEG Journal NO. 2 were presented at the 2017 CIPEG Annual Meeting held at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago in Chicago, Illinois (USA) on 6-8 September. Papers were invited on the theme ‘The Role of Curators in Museum Research and Exhibits: Tradition, Change, and Looking to the Future’ or general museum work. Other articles related to ancient Egyptian and Sudanese collections and museums but not associated with the annual meeting are also featured in the volume. (2017).

In 2016, CIPEG held its annual meeting in Milan, Italy, as part of the 24th ICOM General Conference held on 4–7 July. Papers were invited on the theme ‘Egyptological Landscapes: Museums, Libraries, Historical Palaces and Archives’. CIPEG also held a post-conference workshop from 10–12 July at the Museo Civico Archeologico in Bologna, this time with a focus on ‘Egyptological Landscapes: Museums, Resources and Networks among Collections and Institutions’. A selection of papers on these themes, as well as contributions on broader matters of collection research, conservation, exhibitions, and archaeological excavations presented in Milan and Bologna are published here in CIPEG Journal No. 1 (2017).
