On behalf of Dr. Zahi Hawass, I would like to announce the
inauguration of a newly established Department by the SCA titled
"Department of the Documentation and Registration of the Coptic
Monuments". This Department aims to:

    Document and register fully all Coptic monuments in: museums,
    different archaeological sights (related to either Islamic and
    Coptic or Pharaonic sectors' sights), excavations outcome,
    stores and magazines and every Coptic monument in Egypt.

    Preparation for publications of these documentations.

    Initiation of the Coptic monuments cultural awareness through:
    Lectures, training courses, periodicals, etc.

    Arrangement and gathering of the efforts of all whom are
    interested and experts in Coptology in and outside Egypt.

The Department is about to hold a preliminary workshop at 30-31 May
2009 entitled "Documentation and registration of Coptic monuments,
challenges and solutions" in 3 Al-aadel Abubakr st., Zamalek, Cairo.

This workshop will include round table discussions in different
fields: Survey and architectural documentation, GIS, icons, Coptic
papyri, photography and new documentation techniques, wood, metals,
textiles, and other fields of Coptic monuments Documentation.

These discussions aim to:

    Allow a kind of brain storming between experts to get different
    ideas which will help to figure out a detailed plan of action.

    To recognize and arrange efforts between Coptologists and those
    who may be involved in this National project of the
    Documentation of the Coptic monuments.
