Ottoman archive documents are online
Bulgaria compiles its Ottoman archives in the electronic environment.
Bulgaria’s National Library in Sofia is working to make many Ottoman archives available online.
Nearly 12 thousand Ottoman archive documents have been restored within the scope of the Library’s document restoration project.
The Project aims at allowing more people to reach the original documents without giving any harm to them.
Among the works exhibited in the library and recently-restored is a Holy Quran dating back to the 15th century.
Stoyan Shivarov from the library’s Oriental Department said that historical documents would be preserved for future generations under this project.
Shivarov also said that 20 Ottoman documents and two books are now available in the electronic environment as a part of the first stage.
