The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) awarded a $246,347 Project Grant under the Promotion of the Humanities Research program (CFDA 45.161) to the Regents of the University of California, Berkeley. The grant, which runs from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2026, will fund the development of an expansive, public-facing website to reconstruct the demography and topography of the Greek Orthodox communities in late Ottoman Istanbul during the 19th and 20th centuries. The project will collaborate to produce articles, podcast interviews, blog posts, ArcGIS storymaps, relational databases, and virtual/in-person exhibitions to write this group back into the history of the Ottoman Empire, modern Turkey, and modern Greece. The project aims to bridge fragmented secondary scholarship and draw on a wide array of archival sources to carry out a systematic and comprehensive reconstruction of these Orthodox Christian communities in the cosmopolitan city of Istanbul.
