Below is a structured guide that explores the archive’s origins, contents, scholarly relevance, and practical ways to use it in research or public projects. | Period | Turban‑wearing Communities | Visual Significance | |--------|----------------------------|---------------------| | Late 19th c. – 1918 | Urban elites, military officers, religious scholars, and regional notables across the Ottoman Empire (Ankara, Istanbul, Bursa, Diyarbakır, Erzurum, etc.) | Turbans signified rank, profession, and regional identity; photographs were often taken by foreign travelers, local studios, and Ottoman officials. | | 1919 – 1938 | Early Republic citizens, especially in rural Anatolia, where the turban persisted longer than in the newly “modernized” city centers. | The 1925 Hat Law (Şapka Kanunu) banned turbans in public life; the archive captures the last few years of their public visibility. | | Post‑1938 | Minority groups (e.g., Kurdish tribal leaders, Alevi religious figures) and diaspora communities that retained traditional headgear for cultural events. | Photographs become rare, often taken by ethnographers or private collectors. | Boğaziçi University Library
