Egypt’s AUC Rare Books Library digitizes 19th century photos

Egypt’s American University in Cairo digitizes 19th century photographs.

CAIRO: In an attempt to preserve historical records and increase their accessibility, the Rare Books and Special Collections Library (RBSCL) at The American University in Cairo (AUC) has digitized 101 photographs documenting 19th-century Egyptian culture and the history of travel in the Middle East. Commissioned by the Underwood & Underwood publishing company, the photographs offer a wide range of possibilities for online research and teaching in a diverse array of courses, from rhetoric to history and anthropology. mehr...

Two of the RBSCL’s photographic collections, which include around 250,000 items, have recently been digitized. The most recently digitized collection is Alexandria Bombardment of 1882 photograph album, which was launched online in September 2012.

Weiss jemand, ob und wo diese digitalisierten Dokumente online einzusehen sind?

Danke

Bei der Gelegenheit ist auch eine Beschreibung Kamal ed Dine's aufgeschienen, dem Gönner von László A.
Seine Citroën-Kégresse-P17-Spuren sind heute noch zu finden, drunten im Gilf.
