The Ottoman Bank Archives
and Research Centre...
The Ottoman Bank Archives and Research Centre was founded
by the Ottoman Bank, in March 1997,
in collaboration with the Economic and Social History Foundation
of Turkey. The Centre, pursuing its activities in the old
Head Office of the Ottoman
Bank in Karaköy from the end of 1999, has undertaken up to
now, works related to oral history, publications,
exhibitions, a documentary,
colloquium, competition
and similar projects apart from the classification of the
Ottoman Bank Archives.
The Ottoman Bank Archives include the documents of a process
starting from the foundation of the bank to the 1950s. The
researchers have access to the information and documents related
to the archives, digitalized so as to constitute a data base,
through the Catalog. Apart
from the bank archives, the digitalized copy of yearbooks
concerning the period in question, statistics, photographs
and insurance plans are put in the catalog at the disposal
of researchers under the title Documentation.
The specialized library, constituted within the Centre and
which has already reached 5.000 books, is collecting works
concentrated on the economic, political and social history
of the Ottoman Empire starting from Tanzimat and of the Turkish
Republic.
