Abstract :The engineering periodicals are substantial sources of information to grasp the developments in the area, to understand the changing positions of academic society in a specific period in question, to show the different applications of engineering in other fields, and to point out the scientific, social and even political consequences of those applications. The present study gives bibliographical information about the engineering periodicals in Ottoman Turkish (printed until 1928) and makes a general evaluation on their contents. In this respect the article aims at providing information about the primary sources to the researchers who will study the history of engineering and the development of engineering sciences. The article also pays attention to the engineering periodicals, which are in general ignored, and hence makes a contribution to the studies about the Turkish press history.
