Correspondence (1860-)
ASDMAE RCItCa-01-02-01 · Subsubseries · [1860-1883]
Part of Archive of the Royal Italian Consulate in Cairo (1861–1940)

The first, oldest segment, received from 1910 onwards through successive and fragmentary transfers without detailed transfer lists, is collected in 37 archival boxes. It reflects the administrative difficulties of the early years of the Italian consular office and the critical issues arising from the need to manage relations with a suddenly increased number of users/nationals.

The absence, at the time of transfer, of detailed lists of the documentation, together with repeated rearrangements—possibly also for study purposes—has undoubtedly had a negative impact on the readability of these records.

The papers, partially rearranged, may be subject to subsequent inventorying interventions.

Correspondence organised by positions (1915 - 1924)
ASDMAE RCItCa-01-02-02 · Subsubseries · 1913 - 1924
Part of Archive of the Royal Italian Consulate in Cairo (1861–1940)

The records produced in 1915–1924 are organised in fixed positions, i.e. predetermined files in which documentation was filed by subject in chronological order.

The files are titled by recurring procedures or issues (management of the consulate, tariffs, transcription of civil status acts), by types of correspondence/acts (complaints, requests for information and/or documents), and by type of correspondent (individual ministries).
In general, these files contain loose documentation that does not give rise to large and/or complex case files. A position may be internally subdivided into subfiles (broken down into minor topics) when matters become significant.
