- Archival History
- After the collection was donated to the archive a rough inventory was created by Lady Waterhouse in Nov 1990. The collection has since been reordered at some point since their acquisition by the BSA to re-establish their original order, probably by the archivist, M. Cognell, when the collection was accessioned in 1993.
- Biographical/Historical note
-
Winifred Lamb was born on the 3rd November 1894 in London to Muriel and Edmund Lamb, who served at a Liberal MP from 1906-10. She was educated at home by her father before reading classics at Newnham Collage, Cambridge in 1913, where she gained a first class degree in 1917 (although not formally until 1925).
During the First World War she worked at the Naval Intelligence department in Room 40 under Admiral Hall, breaking German codes alongside John Beazley. After the war she was appointed Honorary Keeper of the Greek and Roman Department at the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, vastly enhancing the collection until her retirement in 1958, most significantly with the establishment of the Prehistoric Gallery.
In 1920 Winifred was admitted as a member of the British School at Athens (BSA) and arrived at the school to study in October. She participated in the first excavation of Mycenae under the Director of the BSA Alan J.B. Wace, as well as excavations of Sparta with Arthur M. Woodward and Macedonia with W.A. Heurtley. In 1929 she began investigations on the island of Lesvos at the Early Bronze Age site of Thermi, which she discovered, with R.W. Hutchinson, Nina Six and James Brock. She completed three excavations at Thermi, which succeeded in establishing her reputation within British Archaeology. In 1935 she moved her focus to Turkey undertaking excavations at Kusura and provided valuable information concerning Anatolia during the Bronze Age.
In 1940 she was awarded a Doctorate of Science and in 1942 she joined the BBC Turkish section until 1946. A few years later in 1950 she became the Honorary Secretary and Chairman of the Archaeological Policy Sub-Committee for the newly created British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, under Professor Garstang, until her retirement in 1957.
Winifred was highly respected and contributed significantly to archaeological literature, creating a vast body work from 1917 until her retirement in 1957, including literature reviews as well as details of her excavations at Thermi (Excavations at Thermi in Lesbos in 1936) and Kusura (Excavations at Kusura near Afron Karahisar in 1936). This resulted in her death on the 16th September 1963 at Liphook in Hampshire, being described at the time, as a great loss to British archaeology. - Chronological Range

Winifred Lamb Personal Papers
- Scope And Content
- These 18 volumes were created by Winifred Lamb and document her travels, excavations, friends and colleagues such as Lilian Chandler and Bernard and Dorothy Ashmole. The spines were labelled in roman numberals by Lamb; volume V was not received from the Lamb estate. Some of the photographs may have been taken by some of her colleagues and later given to her. It seems that if a photograph has initials in the bottom corner it was a way to record who took/gave those photographs to her. Winifred Lamb captioned the images in black ink (fountain pen). Helen Waterhouse later added identifications on the pages of these albums in black ball point pen, as well as on pieces of paper. Lesley Beaumont also did these identifications in pencil.
