We paid a visit to the National Library’s Non-Book Materials Division to explore Türkiye’s rich visual and audio heritage at first hand.

The Division offers a unique resource for culture, art and history enthusiasts, comprising 34 different types of rare items, such as vinyl records, film posters, maps and artworks. The collection’s highlights include, in particular, a series of vinyl records (1913–1960) and a selection of traditional shadow play figures.

We would like to thank the officials for the information shared and their hospitality.
