Mersin City Memory Office is digitizing the 1969–2011 issues of the Tarsus Yeni Ses newspaper. Mersin Metropolitan Municipality announced the project on August 29, 2026.
The newspapers are scanned at high resolution, checked and stored digitally. Once the work is complete, the archive is intended to be available to researchers and anyone interested in local history.
The office also collects photographs, maps and ephemera, and records oral histories to preserve Mersin’s social and cultural memory.
