This book contains the Arabic translations of a set of official documents of the Ottoman state selected from the Ottoman Archives in İstanbul to serve as sources for research on the history of the Sudan during the Ottoman period. The book was prepared with the cooperation of the Ottoman Archives Directorate attached to the Turkish Presidency. Following its publication, a book launching was held at the Sudanese National Records House (NRH) in Khartoum in February 2009 to introduce it to interested researchers in the Sudan.
