Cairo University Library

 

 

 

 

 

While visiting Cairo, I spent an afternoon at Cairo University, my Alma Mater.

Ancient, hand-written catalogs of theses and dissertations reminds one of a different era.

 

The special collections catalog.

 

The card catalog is alive and well and still serves the students and faculty.

 

 

Old book stacks.  Books are shelved by accession number.

 

 

 

Meeting with Cairo University Library administration.

 

 

The stacks look the same everywhere.
