Profile of the group: General office staff
No source read describes Merkez Memuru by itself, so this is the profile of its group of job titles.
General titles of officials that name no particular office. In the offices of the nineteenth century a mülazım was a supernumerary or apprentice; in the Post and Telegraph service most officials began so and worked for years without a salary.
History
From 1879 a commission of the Ministry of the Interior (Sicill-i Ahval Komisyonu) recorded the careers of civil and judicial officials; it gathered about 92,000 records of service in 200 registers.
