The Digital Modern History of Egypt

The Bibliotheca Alexandrina has started preparing for this project in order to establish an integrated digital library of the modern history of Egypt. This will include the collection of specialized libraries, such as that of Gamal Abdel Nasser, Anwar El Sadat and eminent Egyptian authors and historians as well as contents related to the subject from all over the world.

The objective is to scan, catalog, index, carry out Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of the collection and present it in a searchable form to its users. This project will benefit from the efforts done on the Million Book project described earlier.
