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 Şevket Efendi began in Çemişgezek in 1873/74 (AH 1290). Work began in Istanbul in 1894/95, at about 21, on a first salary of 400 kuruş. The annual lists begin in 1894/95, with Şevket as Anbar ve manifesto kâtibi and no place named. At the same time, from 1906/07, the lists also place Şevket in Istanbul as Muayene kâtibi.

The salary never rose above the first in the lists, 400 kuruş a month in 1894/95, when 44 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 13 years pay ended where it began, at 400 kuruş. The last annual entry is for 1906/07.

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.
