Abstract

The article discusses the collective identity of Armenian immigrants in Egypt through a study of national registers in the 19th century. It describes the Egyptian government's community administration and its development of a national registry system to track immigrants settling in Egypt, along with the recording of immigrants' baptisms, marriages, and burials. The process of adding social relationships such as family members, co-workers, or friends to an individual's registry is discussed in relation to the ways legal documents defined the group identity of Armenian immigrants.
