Dar al-Mahfuzat al-ʿUmumiyya <br> | ::The documents preserved in Dar al-Mahfuzat today certainly include three important collections. | ||
::1) The pension dossiers of state employees between the 1830s and 1959. In these dossiers one can trace the entire careers of state employees and obtain some information on their heirs. These files provide also an insight into the administrative work and cooperation between different branches of the state. | |||
::2) The tax-registers of buildings in Cairo which once belonged to the Cairo Governorate [Muhafazat Misr]), and possibly of other cities as well, from the turn of the century to the early 1950s. | |||
::3) Tax registers of agricultural lands. | |||
