Kadir Has University announced that the Reşad Ekrem Koçu and Istanbul Encyclopedia Archive project, conducted in collaboration with Salt, is now accessible online. The archive brings together a vast universe of records shaped around the printed volumes of the Istanbul Encyclopedia, unpublished entries, visual materials, and working files for researchers.
According to the announcement, the project opens a new research gateway to Istanbul’s social, cultural, and urban memory by making over 40,000 records accessible in digital format. In this respect, the initiative serves as a strong example of digital access to private archives, institutional collaboration, and sustainable cultural heritage management.
The archive can be accessed directly at istanbulansiklopedisi.org.
