Abstract
Documents, as one of the most important research sources, hold significant importance and value in the studies of a historical period and in some cases are the only evidence of the changes and developments within a human society. The aim of this research is to present new topics in the field of structural analysis of military booklets during the Qajar period, which have been arranged based on various geographical areas, including the Khorasan province. The present study is an analytical archival research that aims to answer the research questions by posing a problem related to the types of military booklets, their content, and organization methods through the examination of ten thousand pages of military documents from the Central Documents of Astan Quds Razavi covering the period of 1268-1292 AH. The research background shows that no research has been conducted in this regard so far. The significance of these booklets lies in the fact that by examining them, comprehensive and novel information regarding the administrative system and military organizations of Iran during the Qajar period can be obtained. The findings indicate that military booklets during the Qajar period included various types such as instructional booklets, payment booklets, income and expenditure statements, regulations and instructions, provincial accounts, personnel lists, and classifications, which were prepared based on administrative principles and writing styles of the time.
