- Project History:
- Scattered across what is termed “Historic Cairo” are countless buildings and monuments with a long, rich history. Under the auspices of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), Dr. Nicholas Warner completed the survey and documentation of 400 of these monuments in the 1990s, as well as the production of 31 map sheets depicting their locations within and relationship to urban Cairo. The Historic Cairo Architectural Mapping (HCAM) project was made possible with the support of the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities (formerly the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities).
- Funding Agency:
- The Historic Cairo Architectural Mapping (HCAM) project was made possible through funding provided by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Grant No. 263-0000-G-00-3089-00, administered by the Egyptian Antiquities Project (EAP) of the American Research Center in Egypt (ARCE), as well as supplementary funding from the Barakat Trust.
- Note Contents:
- These map sheets each contain several monuments, all numbered using a specific system. Monuments registered in the Index of Monuments are listed with their number written regularly, whereas those that have been deregistered have their number in brackets (i.e., (422), (566)), and unregistered monuments have a U at the beginning of their number (i.e., U19, U132). Provided are also the map key, index by numbers, and descriptive catalogue from Dr. Warner’s publication to assist in the viewing and navigation of these map sheets.
