No, ACOR doesn’t lend books. However you can take as much time as you need to browse them within the library.

No. ACOR is an American non-profit organization. The institutional affiliation that is required for the Fulbright program is with a host country national organization or institution, so a Jordanian organization our case.
Please visit the Jordanian-American bi-national Fulbright Commission website for complete information about Fulbright programs for Americans and Jordanians.
Not easily. The Department of Antiquities closely supervises archaeological digs and every member of the team has gone through an application and screening process before being issued a license; usually many months before the dig is scheduled to begin. For this reason, it is almost impossible for projects to accept any last minute volunteers on their sites.
We recommend that you visit our affiliated organization ASOR website and read about the Committee on Archaeological Research and Policy. You can also find links here to specific projects working in Jordan and the region.
To join an archaeological dig: plan ahead. Determine what projects will be running from the ASOR site and communicate directly with the project leaders to see if it is possible to volunteer with their teams.
