The National Archives and Research Department has completed the classification and documentation of a total of 2,220 marriage licenses, covering the years 1929–1950, held in the archives of the Cyprus Foundations Administration. The documents, obtained as a result of extensive collaborative work, have been made available to researchers today. The documents cover Karpaz, Larnaca, Famagusta, and parts of Nicosia, and are described as historical records reflecting the social structure, family relations, and administrative practices of the period.

The documents are emphasized as having great significance not only historically but also from a legal perspective. They are a critical resource for recovering the originals of many marriage certificates lost in the fire that occurred in the Family Court on March 30, 1995. They are also noted as an important resource for citizens conducting birth certificate or genealogical research.

The study also unearthed the records of 98 individuals who married in Cyprus and emigrated to Palestine between 1929 and 1950. It was stated that these records could provide the opportunity for the families in question to prove their ancestry and support their application to international legal mechanisms.

Ejdan Grand Vizier, Director of the National Archives and Research Department, emphasized the crucial importance of marriage licenses from 1929 to 1950 for both preserving historical memory and documenting citizens' ties to the past. The Grand Vizier stated that similar efforts will continue in collaboration with the Cyprus Foundations Administration.

Esin Fatma Çiftçi, Ottoman Turkish translator at the National Archives and Research Department, stated that some of the personal names were recorded in the Cypriot dialect and therefore included in the catalog in both their original and standard forms. Çiftçi noted that the most common usage was used for village names, noting that the catalog is of great importance for Cypriot dialect research and will significantly contribute to the frequent problem of the lack of birth certificates in the country.

Said Özdemir, who participated in the study on behalf of the Cyprus Foundations Administration, stated that the prepared records contain information on the lives and marriages of approximately 5,000 people, saying, "Each one bears witness to a love, a home, a family history." Özdemir also emphasized that the marriages performed by imams in every village in Cyprus bear a significant responsibility in preserving the family, the foundation of society.

This archive work is built upon the accumulated knowledge and contributions of many valued employees who have contributed to our institution in past years. In this context, we respectfully thank all our veterans who contributed to the project in previous periods.
