This study aims to show the importance of ottoman studies in public interest in Jordan. Liwa Ajloun was part of Bilad elCham circumscription under the Ottoman Empire and needed to have autonomous history. No way without the ottoman administration records. The first Jordanian studies were hostile to the Ottomans after the Arab revolution in 1916. The critical and methodological approach has permitted to valorize the ottoman patrimony rich and diverse with its documents as registers -of mahakim, churches, Tabo, Muhimme daftari, Salinamatproduced by different institutions and ottoman administrations during the long occupation. Since the 1970’s, numerous studies, editions, translations to Arabic and publications of these rich registers opened large perspectives to researchers for new approaches and new investigations in Jordan History. These contributions, both individual and institutional, portrayed a sort of Jordanian school of writing history based on critical analysis of these ottoman archives.
