This study aims at conducting basic researches for the construction of political and social data bases of the Middle Eastern Core Area. The Middle Eastern Core Area means a historical core area consisting of Egypt, Turkey and the Greater Syria (Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, and Palestine). We selected suitable documents for database formation from basic juridical, administrative and parliamentary documents such as official gazettes, statute books, parliament records, and government almanacs, et.al., focusing on modern Egypt and the Ottoman Empire that included both Turkey and the Greater Syria, and tried to input necessary information of key words in these documents by using their indices and other research sources. Main results of our study are the formation of data base of index of laws and regulations in the Statute Book of the Ottoman Empire (Duster) and the formation of data base Parliament Records in Monarchical Egypt (madhabit mails al-nuwwab and madhabit mails al-shuyukh)and its publication on website. We also tentatively tried to digitalize some parts of the Almanacs of the Ottoman Empire and the Official Gazette of Egypt (al-waqa'i' al-misriya) and and conducted a survey of basic historical documents of the problem of Capitulation for the preparation of data base formation of these sources.
