Summary/Abstract: The cultural heritage left behind by the Ottoman Empire today is a source of data for history studies. Some of the new states established in the vast geography extending from the Balkans to the Middle East have opened their central archives to researchers. One of these archives is the archive of the Ministry of Foundations in Palestine, and contains documents before and after the Ottoman Empire. This archive has provided a limited service to researchers for a while after its establishment. Then it began to provide a more professional service in Abu Dis with the support of Turkey. This paper reveals information about this archive and its catalogs, and it provides a way for researchers who want to study Palestinian history.
