Tarih Dergisi’nin Mutfağı

Abstract

The Faculty of Letters is foremost among the faculties of Istanbul University. In this context, the faculty has an historic mission as the founder in Turkey of social sciences and, in particular, of history. The faculty’s mission is both to nourish scholars and to stand out in both training and education as well as in international scientific periodicals. One of the most important of these periodicals is Tarih Dergisi (The History Journal), which began to be published in 1949. This journal was established by Distinguished Professor M. Cavid Baysun and quickly took its place among the important periodical journals of the day. However, we should take note of two important stages in the preparation of this journal in order for it to become a finished product. The first concerns the articles being put into a form that makes them ready for printing and the second is the printing stage of the journal. This article takes up the preparation for printing and printing stages as they happened between 1974 and 1984. In this regard, we address the matters of making the content ready for printing and also the long and careful path to publication in the printing stage at the Faculty of Letters Printing House.
