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

Mehmed Haşim Efendi was born in Gelibolu. Work began in 1862/63 (AH 1279). The annual lists begin in 1862/63, with Mehmed Haşim as mülazım (telgraf) and no place named, with a rise to telgraf merkez müdürü in 1869/70 and to Telgraf Muduru in 1880/81.

The salary went from 576 kuruş a month in 1863/64 to 1,500 in 1894/95, the peak, as Telgraf Muduru, when nine in ten paid officials earned less. Over 38 years the salaries add up to 509,568 kuruş, 2.7 times what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1900/01.

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.
