TIMEA Visuals

The TIMEA Visual Materials collection contains book illustrations, stereographs, postcards, photographic cards, and other emphemera related to travel in the Middle East. Currently the collection focuses on Egypt, primarily in the nineteenth century. Most of these materials are part of a collection held by Dr. Paula Sanders, Rice University.

TIMEA is a digital archive that focuses on Western interactions with the Middle East, particularly travels to Egypt during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. TIMEA brings together: images, such as postcards, stereoscope views and book illustrations of monuments, street scenes, people and events; texts, including travel guides, museum catalogs, and travel narratives; maps, including historical maps; research and teaching guides in Connexions.
