Endowed chair in archaeology
The Disney Professorship of Archaeology is an endowed chair in archaeology at the University of Cambridge. It was endowed by English barrister and antiquarian John Disney in 1851 with a donation of £1,000. He arranged for a further £3,500 bequest upon his death in 1857.[1][2]
As of 2022[update] Disney Professors have also served as the Directors of the McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research, which was founded in 1990.[3]
