Established in 1968, CEDEJ<\/a> (Centre d’\u00c9tudes et de Documentation \u00c9conomiques Juridiques et Sociales) is a French Research Institute whose main Branch is located in Cairo, Egypt. The core objective of CEDEJ is to facilitate and support multidisciplinary field research focusing on Egypt and surrounding countries like Sudan where a small Branch is located.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEDEJ is home to an important collection of books (35,000 volumes), journals, newspapers, statistical data as well as maps and plans (over 5,000 items). Part of this collection came from the collection of Cairo French Law School<\/a> (founded in 1891 and closed in 1956). Among the numerous resources available through CEDEJ, one will find thematic Press Reviews<\/a>, a digital Press Archive<\/a> and digital monographs collection<\/a> -both in collaboration with Bibliotheca Alexandrina<\/a>-, and a Census Portal<\/a> (CAPMAS):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CEDEJ map library per se is quite unique: it holds “a multi-scalar collection of cadastral, topographic, and geographic maps covering all of Egypt<\/em>” running from the end of the 19th century to the 1990s. In November 2021, CEDEJ launched an ergonomic, dynamic and interactive online catalog allowing users to access, extract, and explore textual and geo-referenced data: CEDEJ carto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
