The Department of History and AUC Libraries will be hosting a workshop on Historical Newspapers and Magazines in Egypt. The workshop aims to bring together researchers, librarians, and archivists and will showcase recent work on historical newspapers.

Participants will explore questions such as:

  • How are collections of historical newspapers being used?
  • What technical/ administrative barriers exist?
  • How are digital collections created and made accessible?
  • What could be done to enhance access?
  • Who owns collections? Who owns the rights to collections?
  • Which types of publications remain unexplored or hidden?

AUC is a tobacco-free community. Smoking is only permitted in designated areas.
A photo ID is required for entry. Facial recognition is required at all times.
