"List of Library-Catalog Subject-Headings Pertaining to Ancient Egypt in the College of Charleston Library" (incomplete), by P. A. Piccione [PDF-format]
To give you an idea of how the College of Charleston Library catalogs books on ancient Egypt, the course instructor has created a listing of most of the subject-headings in the Library's computer-catalog related to ancient Egypt. Use this list to make searches of the "Subject" category and keywords. This list is not complete. Since 2000, when it was first prepared, new subject-headings have been added to the catalog.

The Annual Egyptological Bibliography (1947 onward) and Ägyptologische Bibliographie, 1822-1997 are the two major bibliographical reference sources for Egyptology published together on CD-ROM. The College of Charleston Library keeps a copy of this major searchable bibliographical resource in the Reference Room (library call number: DT43.E397 1822-1997). See the reference librarian for information on searching these bibliographical databases.

The Annual Egyptological Bibliography (Web-Search home page)
The AEB is the primary resource for searching the bibliography of ancient Egypt. Published since 1947, the AEB catalogs every publication pertaining to Egyptological issues, including: books, individual articles, monographs, etc., and it abstracts them in English, French, or German. Each annual volume of the bibliography, up through the 1980's, listed all the publications for the year alphabetically by the last name of the author. Thereafter, the abstracts are listed first by subject area, then author. From 1992 onward, the abstracts of the AEB are available for searching on the World Wide Web. Pages for specific year-dates are as follows:

• 1992
• 1993
• 1994
• 1995
• 1996
• 1998
• 1999-2002 (listed alphabetically by author without abstract)
