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:
