Muteferriqa is an Ottoman Turkish database that offers a wide range of discovery opportunities, including full-text searches of nearly 35,000 printed books and 1,470 titles of periodicals.
Muteferriqa consists of two main collections: Periodicals and Books.
- Periodicals Collection: Approximately 1,500 titles, 96,000 issues, 1 million pages
- Book Collection: Nearly 35,000 books, approximately 6 million pages
- Both full text and metadata are searchable in Arabic and Latin-based alphabets. For example, users can search for the keyword "statue" by typing "statue" in English, "statue" in Turkish, or "هيكل" in Ottoman Turkish.
- Images from both collections can be queried and viewed independently. Users can search images by using image descriptions or image category tags for the content of the images; they can also discover new images based on image similarity.
- Latin-letter Turkish and English language support makes the treasure trove of Ottoman printed sources accessible to those who cannot read old-letter texts and those who do not speak Turkish at all.
- You can search and read in your preferred language.
