I am glad to come across this page while searching on the net for his recent works, for it has opened my eyes on something that I did not know before, and what made him even more sympathetic to me both as an archaeologist and a person.
While exploring Bermuda’s beautiful natural sights and the historic monuments which are fitting so well into this scenery, I did not know that it was mainly the result of Dr. Harris’ work to have all these fascinating buildings in such a shape. He has never said a word about his merits in this. In my excuse it has to be said, that this type of his activities is not really advertised abroad, he is well known only for his inventing the Harris Matrix.
I am glad to report, that the new generation of the Hungarian archaeologists is using, learning, discussing the Harris method of archaeological excavation and documentation, and the Hungarian translation of it is very popular among them.

I have always regarded it as a great privilege to be a guest at his house and participate in some of his programmes, but now I regard it as even greater. His generosity, open-mindedness and kindness combined with the genuine capacity for leadership makes him for me the good example of the British Gentleman.

Thank you Ed, thank you Dr. Harris

Dr. Harris’ vision has been supported by the seriously committed original group of trustees (who had the vision to bring him home as the Executive Director) and those later committed trustees following, along with hundreds and hundreds of volunteers as well as very large and very small financial donors.

Dr. Harris has traveled thousands of miles over the years, raising millions of dollars in operating funds as well as collecting significant artifacts as additions to Bermuda’s history from interested living benefactors and legacy estates from within and outside of our precious island. He has involved residents and guest workers alike and our school children in our history through tours, project days, media driven and written publications all helping to convey the message that our history is our heritage; we are all a sum of what came before us.

His career, indeed, his entire life’s work has been devoted to enhancing Bermuda as a tourist and historically significant attraction for the world to see and admire. All for the betterment of Bermuda and her people.

He is our brother. He is my brother.

Our family is extraordinarily proud of our brother, Dr. Edward C. Harris.
