Under the auspices of the Ministry of Culture, the Egyptian National Library and Archives will be launching a campaign under the title Your Heritage is a Responsibility on Monday, January 22, in collaboration with the book house in Bak Al-Khalk, according to a press release by the Ministry of Culture. These materials will be saved by the Egyptian National Library and Archives for academic and scientific purposes. The collectibles will eventually be presented to the public in the Organization of Books and National Documents in 38 glass cabinets. The Egyptian National Library and Archives has long been used by the Ministry of Culture as a mechanism to protect its valuable findings. In October 2017, under the auspices of ex-Minister of Culture Helmy Al-Namnam, the two entities witnessed a collaboration agreement to document the country’s verbal heritage.
