This the library at the newspaper where I work (and if you want to know where that is, you can do your own investigative work). Every story clip is sorted by name, city and subject, and the clips go back to the 1920s.
The other day, I was looking for a clip from 1935 for the parent of a friend, and I spent about half an hour digging through these little brown envelopes for it. Most of the envelopes in the back rode up and jammed the drawers, and none of the drawers close properly anymore. And the envelopes are mostly torn, leaving the clips hanging out.
We probably need a better archive.
A poem on papyrus. Probably from Memphis, Egypt; 19th Dynasty, 1204 B.C. One of the first pieces of Egyptian literature read by Champollion.
What’s happening after burning the Egyptian Scientific Institute
After burning the Egyptian Scientific Institute on Saturday 17th December 2011, great efforts started to work on saving the collections of the library which has 196.000 items. The National Library of Egypt is leading the efforts that initiated by different organizations and individuals. At this press release we will try to give a spot light on what’s happening after burning the Egyptian Scientific Institute.
On the official side; The Ministry of Archeology formed a technical committee to check out the burned building of the Egyptian Scientific Institute. Another 2 committees formed for the same purpose, they were formed by Ministry of Culture, and Civilized Coordination Authority. The final result says that the building needs 2.5 Million Egyptian Pounds ($420.000) for restoration, and this process will take 1 year according to Mohammed Ali Ibrahim the Minister of Archaeology.
The photos in the article are heartbreaking, but I’m glad to read about the quick response for restoration
