Özet:

Private libraries are sometimes acclaimed international importance and value stocks with a history of establishment that often reflects the special interests and curiosities of the founder/owners. In the fields of science, culture and literature, private libraries, which began to develop in the geographics where the values that are directed to human history are produced, have had their own characteristics in personal curiosity, interest and habits. This accumulation, which reflects the character of each of the founder/owners, has begun to be interested by people who are interested in similar fields during the process. Private library owners, which allow their works to be used in scientific studies, have made great efforts to gather important resources related to their fields. A number of rare, content-sufficient and informative and dedicated works aimed at adding to their buildings, and many of them made it a passion, the library owners have been closely connected with the community of science, literature and culture to improve their buildings, established personal friendship, and most of their libraries have been respected and honored by their value. These libraries have attracted the attention of not only persons, but also government institutions, with their collections of number, content/theme and rare characteristics with one or several. In Turkish culture, private libraries, which have found countless examples in different geographics, have also been a means of the spread of the book culture. Private libraries, which are more frequently found in sections directly related to knowledge, curiosity and reading, such as government managers, bureaucrates, scientists, literaries, artists, are known over time for their founders/owners’ lifestyle, their contribution to humanity and their organizations and development stories. These kinds of libraries have been established and developed in the Eastern and Western cultures, sometimes belonging to a family or family. But when their founders/owners were uninterested with their deaths or libraries, they were shortly dispersed, and their inheritors were sold to different persons because they were uninterested for reasons they did not get. These private libraries are often purchased by other enthusiasts – collectors, craftsmen, antiquists, and antiquists – and the private libraries of indigenous and/or foreign persons, which are generally recognized by society, have been purchased by public institutions by doing the necessary research. In the 19th century, the library began to be built. From the middle of the 20th century it became a scientific and cultural requirement. The process of purchase of private libraries discussed in the historical period until the first quarter of the century (1850-1922) was evaluated by examining the process and the current situation on the basis of archive documents, and the proof of the tracking of these collections was attempted to provide methodological opinions and suggestions on how to take advantage of archive documents and other sources. In the study, for the purpose of the process of verification of the proof of the archive documents and the components on the documents, the presidential state archives of the Ottoman archive funds identified examples related to the topic of the archive documents and the explanations were made through these examples of documents.
