: Albumen prints are the most important photographic prints of the late 19 th century. It is basically composed of two layers : the first layer is the paper support (i.e. cellulose), and the second layer is the image layer (i.e. image silver particles embedded in an albumen binder layer). There are several factors threatening the permanence of albumen prints (e.g., fluctuating temperatures and relative humidity, frequent han -dling, air pollution, light, and improper storage and display). Unlike other paper objects, photographs have special cons ervation requirements due to their complex and unique nature . A private collection was selected for this study. The collection consists of three albumen prints from Francis Amen’s photo collection, which originally belonged to the Elhagar family. Francis Amin is a photo Egypt. The prints back to 1890. The photographs were characterised and studied by visual inspection, digital microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Microbiological studies were carried out in the microbiology laboratory at the Faculty of Archaeology at Cairo University. Results revealed that the albumen layer suffers from cracks and chemical degradation, and the secondary supports suffer from both oxidation and hydrolysis. Based on the obtained results, the following conservation procedures were selected and carried out: disinfection, dry cleaning, tear mending and compensating for losses, remounting, retouching, and rehousing.

: The ancient Egyptian expressed Osiris’s torn body by the word/expression “ iwf Wsir ”, meaning Osiris’s body members (Osiris’s flesh). The texts identified the body parts and what areas of Egypt they were found by Isis and Nephthys. Osiris’s head was found in Memphis, the neck in Latopolis, the heart in Athribis, etc. However, the vital processes related to the body, such as swallowing and its words through the ancient Egyptian religious texts, were not considered. The words referring to swallowing varied through the ages, such as the Pyramid Texts in the Old Kingdom, Coffin Texts in the Middle Kingdom, and the Book of the Dead in the New Kingdom.

: Museums today are faced with a number of challenges and currently are searching for ways to attract, retain audiences and engage with the public. In order to address these issues , researchers have called for studies to help construct a com plete understanding of the visitor experience. Few studies employ methodological approaches that provide in-depth accounts of the museum experience. This article reports preliminary findings from a narrative research study that is aimed to explore sustained visitor/museum relationships. The narrative methodology adopted for this study provides novel insights into the nature of these relationships and extends our understanding of those museum experiences that build and strengthen relationships with visitors, including the affluent ones. Historically, museums have served as important sites for cultural engagement. Despite the significant role they play in society, museums today are faced with a number of challen -ges. Some of these challenges stem from reduced government funding, resulting in increased pressure to attract diverse audiences and a need to justify the public value of museums . Other challenges may be attributed to the rapidly changing society in which we live—changes in demographics, lifestyle , leisure time activities, as well as communication and technology . The main purpose of this research is to identify the profiles of visitors, and understand better their needs as well as the numerous ways in which they experience Jerash and Umm Qais museums in Jordan. This study showcases also the main problem of Jerash and Umm Qais museums; a revision in quality of services, a marketing plan, and an activation of the educational programs in these two museums are highly recommended.

: Technical digital imaging is a non-destructive and contactless technique that is increasingly used to study wall paintings. The methodology is based on the images acquisition in different wavelengths domains. A painted lintel in the tomb of King Takelot I ( 22 nd dynasty, 887-873 BC ), at the archa eo logical site of Tanis (Egypt), which shows a fragile surface, has been investigated in this way. Images under direct light, raking light, favouring near IR radiation, catching the fluorescence response under UV have been made. Ortho -photographs and generated depth maps at both macro- and micro-scales using a digital camera and contactless e-microscope have also been performed. The images revealed the presence of Egyptian blue, red ochre, carbon black. They also have provided additional information on the degradation patterns and the nature of soluble salts that are chloride and sulphate based compounds, the main origin of the degradations and helped to detect the traces of past restoration.

: This study is concerned with three new Islamic inscriptions which were discovered in one of the stones cairn in wadi al-Ġuṣyian, which is famous for water wells- dug in along the course of the valley - known as Biār al-Ġuṣyian (wells of al-Ġuṣyian). These inscriptions that are carved on smooth basalt stone are composed of thin letters, making it difficult to read these inscriptions at first. However, I was able to analyze and read the inscriptions correctly. The importance of the inscriptions is that they were engraved by three different persons in the cursive writing on the surface of the stone; the stone’s surface measures 30 cm×33 cm, two inscriptions are dated but the third one is undated. One of the inscriptions contains the name of the person as “Al-Ġuṣyian” and so the site was named after this name that is the wells of “Al-Ġuṣyian”. Another inscription that mentions a geographical site in neighboring Syria, called “cUrmān” from the Mamluke period includes in the first inscription some ascetic poetic verses which were in vogue back then.

: The Holy Quran is a pillar of Islamic civilization . The copy of the Qur’an al-muṣḥaf al-sharīf is vital for studying Islamic arts, in general, and Arabic scripts, in particular. The Museum of Islamic Art in Cairo holds major collections of copies of the Quran as pieces of art. I chose one of those manuscripts dated 1268 AH./1851 AD., as the topic of study because of its impor-tance, complete form, various decorations, and calligrapher's signature. These factors provide a comprehensive background on the copies of the Holy Quran dated to the 13 th H./19 th G. century.
