III. ARMENIAN PATRIARCHATE OF IERUSALE%I
These archives include twenty-five dossiers an the Armenian question between 1913
and 1916 and between 1919 and 1922. The records were originally a part of the archives
of the Patriarchate of Constantinople and were transferred ta Jerusalem for safekeeping.
The hiatus extending from 1916 to 1919 is explained by the exile of the patriarch himself
during those years. An indication of the types of materials included among the
25,000 papers in the dossiers is given in parentheses.
