Resumen:The Library of Congress and the National Library and Archives of Egypt announced a significant milestone in their cooperation on digital initiatives with the opening on Nov 15 of a state-of-the-art digitization center at the National Library in Cairo. The equipment for the center has been provided by the Library of Congress to the National Library to enable it to digitize rare and unique materials in its collections and make them accessible on the Internet. The Library of Congress and the National Library are working on a joint project, Islamic Civilization and Science: A History in the Manuscripts of the Library of Congress and the National Library of Egypt, that will create a bilingual, Arabic-English Web site documenting the history of science in the Islamic world from A.D. 800-1600, as portrayed in the Arabic manuscripts from the collections of the two institutions.
