The c. 1907 Ottoman Census and the Demography of Armenians in Southern İstanbul

Ohanian, Daniel, 2016
MA thesis, Department of History, İstanbul Bilgi University (advisor: M. Erdem Kabadayı); 98 pp.; handle 11411/1013

A demographic study of Apostolic Armenians in southern Istanbul based on the c. 1907 Ottoman imperial census, supervised by the Ottoman quantitative historian M. Erdem Kabadayı. It is the foundation of Ohanian's later census work: the research it contains was subsequently developed into his 2017 JOTSA article and his 2020 Turcica article on historical GIS.

How this repository is built

What is in this repository?

Peer-reviewed and institutional scholarship on Armenian subjects — history, the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh, language and literature, the church, and the diaspora — in any language and from any country. Journal articles, books, book chapters, theses and institute publications are all in scope. Entries are chosen for what they contribute to an Armenian student's understanding, not for how recent or how famous they are.

What does 'verified' mean here?

It means a person opened the link and checked the record against the publisher's own page: the title, the authors, the venue, the volume and pages, and the identifier. The date of that check is shown on each entry's page. Where an entry has no date shown, no check has been logged for it yet, and the catalogue does not claim one.

What is the summary on each entry?

A short account of what the publication does, followed by notes on what it offers different readers — a student writing a term paper, an academic, someone reading for the community, someone new to the subject. They are meant to tell you what a piece is useful for, not only what it argues.

How do I suggest a publication, or report an error?

Use the 'Suggest a publication' link at the foot of the directory. The same address takes corrections — a broken link, a wrong page range, a misattributed author. Corrections are checked against the publisher's record before an entry changes.
