They document the development of Polish Oriental Studies in independent Poland.

During the Second Republic of Poland period, the state-owned Central Archive of Historical Records in Warsaw was an important archival institution. Its director was Józef Siemieński. The reading room of the Archive had 20 seats. Annually, the Archive was used by 80 to 150 readers. Sources were studied regarding politics, economy, social life, culture, as well as genealogy. The Archive was used by professors from Warsaw (Józef Rafacz, Wacław Tokarz, Jan Karol Kochanowski, from Poznań (J. Rutkowski, S. Bodniak, A. Skałkowski) and young historians from Kraków (Karol Buczek, Krystyna Pieradzka, E. Latacz, Kazimierz Lepszy). J. Bujak dispatched his students from Lviv to the Archive. Stanisław Szachno-Romanowicz, an employee of the Archive, prepared excerpts from Armenian sources for E. Słuszkiewicz from Lviv. Orientalist sources in the Archive were of interest to W. Kotwicz from Lviv and S. Shapshal from Vilnius. They were also researched by Abdullah Zihni, Turkish citizen, a student of T. Kowalski from Krakow. At that time, the university cities (Vilnius, Krakow, Lviv) had their own large archives. It was expensive to come and stay in Warsaw for archival research, which had an impact that limited the use of the archives.

W okresie II Rzeczypospolitej państwowe Archiwum Główne Akt Dawnych w Warszawie było ważną placówką archiwalną. Jego dyrektorem był Józef Siemieński. Czytelnia w Archiwum miała 20 miejsc. Z Archiwum rocznie korzystało od 80 do 150 czytelników. Badano źródła dotyczące: polityki, gospodarki, życia społecznego, kultury, a także genealogię. Z Archiwum korzystali profesorowie z Warszawy (Józef Rafacz, Wacław Tokarz, Jan Karol Kochanowski), z Poznania (J. Rutkowski, S. Bodniak, A. Skałkowski) i młodzi historycy z Krakowa (Karol Buczek, Krystyna Pieradzka, E. Latacz, Kazimierz Lepszy). J. Bujak przysyłał swoich uczniów ze Lwowa. Wypisy ze źródeł ormiańskich dla E. Słuszkiewicza ze Lwowa przygotowywał Stanisław Szachno-Romanowicz, pracownik Archiwum. Orientalistycznymi źródłami w Archiwum interesował się W. Kotwicz ze Lwowa i S. Szapszał z Wilna. Badał je również Abdullah Zihni, obywatel Turcji, uczeń T. Kowalskiego z Krakowa. W tym czasie miasta uniwersyteckie (Wilno, Kraków, Lwów) miały własne duże archiwa. Przyjazdy na kwerendę archiwalną i pobyt w Warszawie były kosztowne, co wpływało na ograniczanie możliwości korzystania z archiwum.
