Hi Chris,

I think the data you are looking for about administrative boundaries of the ottoman Empire doesn’t exist. I have only a file (under illustrator) of the boundaries in 1867 based on a Kiepert map, that is to say after 1864, date of a large administrative reform of the provincial boundaries.

No, sorry, Rixanne.

We did end up buying some of the Euratlas files, but they don't go very far east/southeast, and--well, I probably
shouldn't say this on MAPS-L, but I will--the graduate student who's researching Ottoman Eastern Europe isn't sure
that the Euratlas files are completely accurate (it's not clear that there's an unambiguously definitive source of
correct information here).

Hello,

Did you find this? I’m interested too, mostly just for curiosity.

thanks,
Rixanne

Hi,



I'd be very grateful to hear if anyone knows of a source of free or inexpensive GIS files with Ottoman boundaries (including first- and second-order internal administrative boundaries) in the Balkans between roughly 1600 and 1914. I'm guess I'm hoping (fantasizing?) to learn of an institution or group comparable to the Ancient World Mapping Center that's concentrated on the Ottoman Empire.



Yes, I know of Euratlas, but we can't afford it!



Many thanks for any help you can provide.



Best,
