Honor Frost was an early pioneer in the field of underwater archaeology. When Honor died in 2010 she left the bulk of her estate to establish the foundation to promote marine and maritime archaeology with a focus on the eastern Mediterranean. The Honor Frost Foundation was founded in 2011.
The Foundation’s mission is to promote the advancement and research, including publication, of maritime archaeology with particular focus on the eastern Mediterranean, specifically Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus and Egypt. This is primarily done through our grants, scholarship, and bursaries programs. Additionally, The Foundation funds long terms initiatives, such as a dedicated team in Lebanon, the Steering Committee on Underwater Cultural Heritage and engages with the subject of maritime archaeology through our podcast series. You can learn more about HFF funded people and projects through our HFF Explorer.
