  Partnering for Egyptian Heritage Oral History: Internal and External Collaborations Pursued by the Archives

  Stephen Urgola

  The story of Egypt and its people is a long one, written literally in stone at ancient monuments throughout the country. But perhaps the best way to tell the story of its contemporary period is through its inhabitants’ voices, by means of recorded oral history interviews. Oral history has become a major means of historical documentation for the Archives within the Rare Books and Special Collections Library of the American University in Cairo (AUC), one of the founding members of the AMICAL Consortium of American international liberal arts universities. A variety of collaborations and partnerships have enhanced the Archives’ efforts to document Egypt and AUC through oral history, thus producing rich primary resources for researchers, faculty, and students. This paper examines the progress of the Archives’ oral history program at AUC in its early stages, the experience of the University on the Square: Documenting Egypt’s 21st Century Revolution project after 2011, the effort to interview displaced locals of the Qurna village area in southern Egypt in 2016, and more recent initiatives. The focus will be on the collaborations fostered with faculty at AUC and especially with individuals outside AUC closely tied to and knowledgeable about local communities (most notably in the case of the Qurna Hillside Oral History Project), within an intercultural context. The chapter will include discussion of how these collaborations emerged, were mutually beneficial, and combined the oral history experience and resources of the Archives with the documentary passion, local contacts, and expertise of its partners. It concludes by suggesting paths other institutions can follow.

  Migration and Refugee ‘Crisis’ in the Euro-Mediterranean Region: Which ‘Crisis’? And for Whom?

  Ibrahim Awad

  This issue of Cairo Papers takes up the various dimensions of migration and refugees in the Euro-Mediterranean region over different periods in the last two centuries. It looks at both the migration of waves of Italians and Greeks to Egypt from the mid-nineteenth to the early twentieth century, and at migration from the Arab southern and eastern rims of the Mediterranean to Europe starting in the twenty-first century. The disciplines of history, sociology, anthropology, and political science have been mobilized to undertake the research its chapters embody. They address the history of migration in the region, relations between Mediterranean countries of origin and their diasporas, the impact of interest groups on the formulation of migration policies in countries of destination, and the policies for integration of recent flows arriving in Europe. The chapters are based on papers delivered at Cairo Papers 25th annual symposium in collaboration with the Center for Migration and Refugee Studies.
