This collection is a good source of primary documents and includes photographs, book illustrations, postcards, stereographs, museum and exhibition catalogues, travel guides, travel narratives and cultural studies of Egypt and Cairo. The site includes difficult to find material that would be useful to students and researchers interested in Western interactions with the Middle East during this time. The site may be searched by title, place name, creator, date range or broad subject categories, such as: Art and Artifacts, History and Politics, and Religion and Festivals.

Check it out! TIMEA
