His exploits were first published in 1810 by the British Palestine Association.

For the parts of Seetzen's journeys not covered by the published journal (Reisen, ed.
Kruse, 4 vols, Berlin, 1854), the only printed records are a series of letters and papers in Zach's Monatliche Correspondenz and Hammer's Fundgruben.
Many papers and collections were lost through his death or never reached Europe.
The collections that were saved form the Oriental museum and the chief part of the Oriental manuscripts of the ducal library in Gotha.

The American scholar Edward Robinson, writing in 1841, called Seetzen "judicious, enterprising and indefatigable."
