Project of the Day—When photographer Ania Dabrowska met Diab Alkarssifi, a Lebanese photojournalist, he had thousands of prints and negatives of daily life in Lebanon, Palestine, Kuwait, Egypt, Syria and Iraq, offering a largely unseen portrait of life, spread across 100 years of Arab history. Dabrowska, working with Alkarssifi, put together Lebanese Archives, a book of these photographs.
