===Creation of the Royal Archives=== [[File:King_Fuad_I_of_Egypt,_colored.jpg|alt=King_Fuad_I_of_Egypt,_colored|thumb|Fuad, c. 1934]] Fuad was an instrumental force in modern Egyptian [[historiography]]. He employed numerous archivists to copy, translate, and arrange eighty-seven volumes of correspondence related to his paternal ancestors from European archives, and later to collect old documents from Egyptian archives into what became the Royal Archives in the 1930s. Fuad's efforts to portray his ancestors β especially his great-grandfather Muhammad Ali, his grandfather [[Ibrahim Pasha of Egypt|Ibrahim]], and his father β as nationalists and benevolent monarchs would prove to be an enduring influence on Egyptian historiography.<ref>Khaled Fahmy, ''Mehmed Ali: From Ottoman Governor to Ruler of Egypt'' (Oxford: Oneworld Publications, 2009)</ref>
