The 19th century is a time when European scholars intensified their efforts to explore the East in particular. Archaeological artifacts, plant-animal varieties, and geographical forms awaiting discovery in the Ottoman Empire have been a remarkable area of research for European scholars. In particular, detailed information is given on the scientists studying the ancient works and plant varieties. The presentation of these scientists from various scientific centers in Europe and their studies form the basis of our research. Foreign scholars entering the borders of Ankara Province between 1833 and 1914 were uncovered by scanning the Ottoman Archives of the State Archives Presidency. Information will be given as to who these scholars are, the places they have visited, the activities they have undertaken, and the details of their travels.
