Greek Secondary School Science Collections in Istanbul

English

The Greek community of Istanbul and more generally of the Ottoman experienced a strong blossoming in the second half of the 19th century, which lasted until 1920. The effort that began in the 1830s to modernize the empire played an important role in this, as well as the broader political and economic conditions at the time. In this context, some rights were given to Christians and opportunities for economic and cultural development were created.
The Greek community of Istanbul, which was close to the centre of power, was active in many fields, especially education. Through the Patriarchate but also through a series of societies (mainly the Greek Philological Society of Constantinople) primary schools and gymnasiums were established wherever in the Empire Greek populations existed. Many of these schools were equipped with equipment for physics and chemistry experiments, which is indicative of the importance given by the communities to the teaching of natural sciences.
