Salname (almanacs) of the Balkan and island provinces of the Ottoman Empire

Thanks to the sponsorship of Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, the library of the Institute for Mediterranean Studies has acquired a digital collection of the Ottoman almanacs (salname) of the Balkan and island provinces of the Ottoman Empire. These 87 rare volumes of the second half of the nineteenth centuries have been digitized in CDs and DVDs and contain precious information on the provinces of Edirne, the Aegean islands, Crete, Salonica, Ioannina and Manastir (Bitola). Researchers may study this material in the IMS library.
