Professor Maryam Seyidbeyli, Head of the Department of Historiography of Eastern Countries at the Institute of Oriental Studies named after Academician Z.M. Bunyadov of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS), has donated several publications to the Presidential Library. The donated works include: “Academy – A Collection of Documents: Resolutions, Protocols, Correspondence (1920–1991)”; “From the History of Oriental Studies and Education in Azerbaijan: Historiographical Research and Scholarly Traditions”; and “The Mongol Period in Azerbaijani Historiography (13th–14th Centuries).

The two-volume publication “Academy – A Collection of Documents: Resolutions, Protocols, Correspondence (1920–1991)” compiles archival documents related to the activities of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences. The first volume covers 1920–1957, while the second covers 1958–1991. Among the statutes, resolutions, protocols, decrees, reports, and correspondence from national and foreign archives, the collection includes documents introduced into scholarly discourse for the first time. This collection serves as an essential documentary source for researching the history of the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences' activities and the state's science policy during the Soviet era.

The monograph “From the History of Oriental Studies and Education in Azerbaijan: Historiographical Research and Scholarly Traditions” examines, from historical and historiographical perspectives, the emergence and development of national Oriental studies, as well as the formation of academic and specialized education in this field. The work analyzes key stages in the institutionalization of Azerbaijani Oriental studies, the formation of scholarly and educational schools, advances in source studies and textual criticism, continuity across generations of scholars, and evolving methodological approaches. It also highlights prominent scholars' contributions to the study of the heritage of Eastern civilizations and the pivotal role of university education in shaping national historical thought.

In the monograph "The Mongol Period in Azerbaijani Historiography (13th–14th Centuries)," the author examines science and culture, the legal system, spiritual life, ethnic processes, and religious beliefs in Azerbaijan during the Mongol Empire. The publication also analyzes the era's economy, the Great Silk Road and trade relations, and the significance of Arabic and Persian historical sources for Azerbaijan historiography on the Mongol conquests. 

The donated publications are highly significant for studying the Azerbaijan Academy of Sciences' history through primary documents, exploring the development of national Oriental studies, and researching Azerbaijan's historical, social, and cultural life in the 13th–14th centuries. The Presidential Library has added these books to its collection as valuable resources for historians, Orientalists, and other researchers.
