This article discusses the circumstances of the preparation, goals, course, conduct and results of the diplomatic mission of Alexander Fedorovich Negri to Bukhara in 1820. The mission was sent from Orenburg to Bukhara by the Asian Committee to strengthen relations with the Bukhara Emirate. Based on existing literature and two little-known works from the “Proceedings” of the Orenburg Scientific Archival Commission, little-studied facts about the ransom of prisoners from Bukhara imprisonment are revealed, the scientific results of the expedition members E.K. Meindorf, E. Eversman and others, as well as the political and economic results of the mission. Over the years, full members of the Orenburg Scientific Archival Commission A.V. Vasiliev and N.G. Petukhov published their research in the “Proceedings” of the commission, revealing the results of the mission and the biographies of its participants. The work of A.V. Vasiliev “The Journey of Doctor Eversman to Bukhara” was published in the XVI issue of the “Proceedings” of the OSAK in 1905, the study by N.G. Petukhov “From the Past of Orenburg” was published in 1911 in the XXIII volume of the “Proceedings” of the OSAK. When preparing their research, members of the archival commission relied on archival documents from the Orenburg Regional Administration. The authors concluded that the publications of the members of the Orenburg Scientific Archival Commission occupy an important place in the historiography of the issue and are valuable sources on the history of the Negri mission, revealing the unknown facts of the diplomatic embassy. Materials from the “Proceedings” of the Orenburg Scientific Archival Commission significantly complement the rather meager historiography of the mission of A.F. Negri.
