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,
