<br>
A panel discussion will be held at Bogazici University on Wednesday,<br>
November 3, to present the book Economy and Society on Both Shores of<br>
the Aegean, a joint endeavor between the Ottoman Bank Archive and<br>
Research Center (OBARC), the History Department at Bogazici University,<br>

Ottoman Bank Archive and Research Center will deliver an opening address<br>

7:00 p.m. at Bogazici University's Natuk Birkan building. Panel participants include Prof. Edhem Eldem, chair of the History Department at Boğaziçi University, Prof. Kostas Kostis, from the Department of Political Science at the University of Athens and a consultant to the Alpha Bank Historical Archives, Dr. Hakan Erdem from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Sabancı University, and the editors of the book.<br>
<br>
The material for the book, published by the Alpha Bank Historical
Archives in early 2010, was provided by a monthly seminar series held from 2004 to 2007, which focused on the Greek Orthodox populations of the late Ottoman period. Seminar speakers included Turkish and Greek historians, anthropologists, and social scientists employed in universities and research centers. The papers presented at the seminars addressed issues related to inter-communal relations, national and social identities, commercial activities, social networks, the exchange of populations, and the Ecumenical Patriarchate. To foster discussion among historians from both shores of the Aegean and contribute to international research literature, the papers submitted to the seminars for three consecutive academic years were compiled into a book by Dr. Lorans Tanatar Baruh, scientific director of OBARC, and Assist. Prof. Vangelis Kechriotis, from the History Department at Bogazici University.<br>
