Scope and content
The notebooks in the catalogue were obtained from various institutions and booksellers and include various types of notebooks belonging to the Ottoman state organization. These books, which reached our institution at different times and in an irregular manner, and which do not have subject integrity, have been brought together and turned into a compilation catalog.
The collection brings together notebooks from different administrative and judicial fields such as finance, land registry, and population. While the notebooks vary in content and form, they are important primary sources that shed light on the functioning of the Ottoman bureaucratic structure, provincial-administrative relations and social structure.
