Abstract: Although diplomatic archives were formed in the modern era, diplomatic archives (foreign affairs archives) are a type of institutional archive and are as old as inter-state relations.Diplomatic archives are important in terms of diplomacy and cultural heritage.It is also important to understand the problems faced by researchers during their research into these archives.Therefore, due to both the formation of the diplomatic archive type and the value of the documents in these archives, diplomatic archives deserve to be researched.In this study, archivists, intellectuals, and researchers who want to use the archive are encouraged to discuss the diplomatic archives and new research is encouraged in this context.The data and observations obtained as a result of the research carried out in diplomatic archives provide information on the status of diplomatic archives.The aim of this study is to emphasise the importance of diplomatic archives in terms of historical research, such as political history, to reveal their importance in inter-state relations and to identify the issues they have as a type of institutional archive.It is noteworthy that there is not much work on diplomatic archives belonging to the modern era, this is a unique aspect of this study.
