Houshamadyan's editorial staff have already prepared articles about certain places in Mamuretül-aziz/Harput province. These are the cases of the Harput kaza (sub-district), sandjak of Dersim and Agn/Eğin. To read these articles click on the title "Kaza of Harput", "Sandjak of Dersim", "Agn", to be found in the column on the left.

We present, in this section, pictures taken in the Mamuratul-Aziz/Harput/Kharpert vilayet (province), the majority of which are photographs and engravings relating to the Ottoman era. We have presented the province with its relevant various sub-sections with the object of making them more easily accessible. In the future we will present, alongside them, various themed articles prepared by the editorial board about the Mamuratul-Aziz/Harput/Kharpert province. Thus this method of presentation is of a temporary nature which will last until the articles have been prepared. It should be noted that we have worked on the old photographs in this section with the aim of improving their colour, tone and quality.
