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.

The correspondence is organised into different sections, structured chronologically.

The first segment is extremely complex, as it entered the Historical Diplomatic Archive in a disorderly and fragmentary manner following multiple transfers. At the time of transfer, the papers were described only superficially, creating some confusion.

This section has not completely been arranged or inventoried and requires analytical intervention. Documentation in Arabic is numerous.

The subsequent sections, comprising records produced from 1915 onwards, are instead organised in predetermined positions.

The classification schemes applied from 1915 to 1924 are simple and consist of few entries.

From 1925 onwards, as in all consular offices abroad, the classification scheme approved in 1924 is used.
