The article deals with the formation and development of archives in the period of the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Archives contains not only information about the Ottoman dynasty and the Ottoman state, but also about every nation that was previously part of the empire. The rulers and senior officials of the Ottoman state attached great importance to the preservation of official documents. The author analyzes the role of office work, the problems of sorting and preserving historical documents in storage, the history of the creation of a new institution for storing archival materials Khazine-i-Evrak - “Document Storage”. The Chazine i Evrak Archival Institution was established by Decree of November 9, 1846 and took its place among the world’s first document preservation projects. The systematization of the records of the modern archive began in 1847 with the creation of Khazine-i-Evrak.
