| Abstract | ||||
| Mail has a long and vivid history. As postal services evolved in the nineteenth century, numerous bilateral treaties were enacted to regulate postal procedures. However, as the great number of these bilateral treaties complicated such affairs, a succession of international conferences to discuss postal problems were held, first in Paris and then other cities. Egypt had been represented at all postal conferences, and it was decided that it would host the Tenth Postal Conference in 1934, which was also the year that the Postal Museum opened in Cairo. This article discusses the details of the Tenth Conference for the first time. It further discusses the representation of Egypt in the postal conferences before this event. The article relies primarily on a set of original documents kept in the archives of the National Archives in Cairo that will soon be published for the first time. It is evident that Egypt has made notable contributions to all postal conferences. In addition, it managed and organized the conference that it was mandated to host in its territories in a professional manner. | ||||
