The British School at Athens (BSA) was founded in 1886. Nowadays it has grown to become a dynamic hub for research into all aspects, providing a ‘home from home’ in Athens for postgraduate students and researchers. The BSA site at present comprises several buildings set in a green oasis. These include the Macmillan Hostel (1897, later extended), an extensive library (including the Finlay common room, Penrose Memorial Library, 1904; the Payne Room, 1938; extensions in 1965-67 and 1985; and the Kollakis Wing, 2007) which is open to both BSA members and public readers, and the Marc and Ismene Fitch Laboratory for Archaeological Science (established 1974, extended 1987).
