No Further Records

Reşad Ekrem Koçu and Istanbul Encyclopedia Archive

May 24, 2023 – October 29, 2023

SALT Galata, Bankalar Caddesi 11, Karaköy, Istanbul


The exhibition “No Further Records: Reşad Ekrem Koçu and Istanbul Encyclopedia Archive” explores the unpublished sections of the Istanbul Encyclopedia, dedicated to historian Reşad Ekrem Koçu’s lifelong work. It focuses on the articles that were still in the design stage after Koçu’s death and showcases drafts, clippings, and drawings. The exhibition highlights Koçu’s unique perspective on Istanbul’s history, particularly the neighbourhood of Galata and its inhabitants. It examines the idiosyncratic elements of the encyclopedia and the importance of including undocumented aspects of the city. The exhibition is accompanied by a digitisation project and an e-publication, offering a new perspective on Istanbul’s past.
