A series
Deep dives into the Cairolive archive
A journalist is working back through the Cairolive archive since 1999, reading what the site already documented about Cairo’s places and people, and connecting it to what changed and who stayed. The work is already under way, and every new dive publishes here.
What the archive holds
Real material since January 1999, sourced to its links
Every dive in this series starts from a real Internet Archive capture, the same set shown on the About Cairolive page.
From the archive
Cairolive's early days, via the Internet Archive
Every card here is a real, dated capture on archive.org, linking straight back to its source. We do not re-host the archived pages; the link takes you to the original.
