The Zentrales Staatsarchiv of the German Democratic Republic as a Source for Late Ottoman and Middle East History
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2009
Extract
The archives of the imperial German government, 1871–1918, are an important but somewhat neglected source for late Ottoman and Middle East history. These collections fell into Soviet, American, French, and British hands after World War II and are presently divided between the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) and the German Federal Republic (West Germany).
