The aim of this paper is to offer an overview and some reflections about the first edition of the international master on Conservation of antique photographs and paper heritage, held in Cairo and Catania, managed by Catania University and Helwan University with the collaboration of Italian Embassy in Egypt and Italian-Egyptian Center for the conservation of ancient photographs and paper heritage (Centro italo egiziano per la conservazione delle fotografie antiche e del patrimonio cartaceo – EICAP). Twenty two Egyptian students and a huge number of Italian and Egyptian professors took part at the master during four semesters, giving a contribution in terms of sharing knowledge on conservation issues, especially regarding paper and photographs heritage. The collaboration with internationally renowned librarian institutions was of great value and interest as, for instance, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.
