Annual salary study and register readings

This study view uses the annual salary reference records. The main biography brings together the wider career and its sources.

Life and register readings

The life of İbrahim Selahaddin Bey began in Istanbul in 1877/78 (AH 1294). Work began in 1893/94, at about 16. The annual lists begin in 1893/94, with İbrahim Selahaddin as İdare Kalemi mülazımı and no place named.

Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1894/95 to a peak of 1,750 in 1913/14, as Baskatip, when 70 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 21 years the salaries add up to 195,000 kuruş, 1.4 times what an official on the median salary earned. The last annual entry is for 1913/14.

Places in order of time

Each number is a stop: the birthplace, the place of first work, then every place of the annual entries in turn. The year beside an arrow is the first entry at the new place.
