Activating the Archive is an initiative by the publication design course offered by the graphic design program. It aims to engage students with the unique collections of the Rare Books and Special Collections Library (RBSCL) at The American University in Cairo (AUC). The exhibition will feature students' newly designed publications that reinterpret existing archival material concerned with flora and fauna of Egypt, the history of public parks and gardens, streets' trees and plants, crop cultivation practices, and other related issues.
