Varied resources in the areas of archeology, philosophy, culture, community sciences, Masnavi, divan, arts history, cultural heritage, and biography are presented to the reader in an electronic medium. The copyrights of the sources belong to the ministry.

Last year 15 divan, two Masnavi and one nazire e-books were presented to the readers in this framework. In the previous years there was an English Matbu presented. All the resources can be found at the following websites: www.tedaproject.gov.tr and ekitap.kulturturizm.gov.tr

“Vegetarian Turkish Kitchen,” “Traditional Folk Dances Catalogue,” “Turkish Literature outside Turkey,” “The Place of Yogurt in Turkish Culture,” “Taşeli Music,” “Documents about Ottomans in the Modena State Archive”, “Fourth International Turkish Folk Culture Congress Documents”, “National Struggle Caricatures in the Humor Magazines of the time,” “Are you from the ones that we Computerized?” and “Information and Science Fiction” are some of the fiction and nonfiction e-books available.

The sources will be added to the “Turkish Literature Map.” “Turkish Literature Map” is an ongoing project aiming to collect all the works of literature. The project will create an easy way to find the place, author, name, publisher and source of a work and any literature events going on. The electronic sources that were firstly presented in 2004 will be added to the map.
