Many thanks to Artur Obłuski, the Director of the Research Centre in Cairo, and to his staff who provided courteous help and support.
The georeferencing work would have not been possible without the fundamental help of the GIS practical laboratories held at Sapienza University of Rome. Many students have dedicated long hours of passionate and patient work to accurately index, georeference, and process cartographic data.
