The Digital Ottoman Gazetteer Project

The Digital Ottoman Gazetteer  Project is an innovative digital  humanities initiative led by Dr.  Fatma Aladağ and awarded support  under the ADEP. The project aims  to  document and analyze the place  names of the Ottoman Empire’s  geography spanning over six  centuries, by developing a digital  atlas that links historical place  names with modern geographic  coordinates and makes them  accessible through an open and interactive platform. Within this scope, data drawn from Ottoman archival documents, toponymic dictionaries, and international geographical databases are systematically processed and mapped using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technologies.
