The CEDEJ library, which the Center partly inherited from the French School of Law in Cairo, holds around 36,000 volumes and 6,500 maps. CEDEJ has resumed a policy of new acquisitions in the Humanities and Social Sciences concerning Egypt and Sudan since 2025. The library welcomes all researchers and students to its Garden City reading room. In addition to its physical collections, the library offers access to several digital archives, including a fully searchable Egyptian press archive. CEDEJ also published nearly 300 books and booklets since its creation, some of which were digitized and are accessible here.

How to use the CEDEJ catalogue:
- Type your query into the search box and press enter.
- On the results page, click the desired title to enter its dedicated page.
- On that page, you will find a short table showing, among others, the “Call Number” and “Barcode”. The barcode is what is needed to find the book on the shelves.
- Fill out a book request form and hand it in to the documentalist, Alya El Hosseiny, in the administration office. She will find the works on the shelves and bring them to you.
- When you are done consulting them or are leaving for the day, please return the books to the documentalist. If you’d like to come back for them the next day or will be working with them for an extended period, she can set them aside for you. Please do not leave books out on the work tables when you’re done with them.
