Manuscript and Archival Sources of Art History

The use of manuscripts and archival documents as primary sources in social sciences is extremely important in terms of situating theories on firm grounds. As far as the development process of art history studies in Turkey is concerned, it is observed that the studies with regard to the use of manuscripts and archival documents as sources are insufficient except for those on Architect Sinan. Documentary studies are needed to enrich the literature of art history, to introduce different approaches and to reveal new information. This article contains an evaluation of studies conducted in this field up to the present day as well as an introduction of manuscripts and archival sources of art history.
