Numerous efforts have been made since the 19th century to create a corpus of known cuneiform inscriptions. In the 21st century, the [[Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative]] and [[Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus]] are two of the most significant projects.

| 1925{{NoteTag|Tablets from the site surfaced on the market as early as 1880, when three tablets made their way to European museums. By the early 1920s, the number of tablets sold from the site exceeded 4,000. While the site of Kültepe was suspected as the source of the tablets, and the site was visited several times, it was not until 1925 when Bedřich Hrozný corroborated this identification by excavating tablets from the fields next to the tell that were related to tablets already purchased.}}
