Orhan Kılıç is a Professor of History at Fırat University, Elazığ, Turkey, where he has been employed since June 11, 1987. His research focuses on Ottoman administrative systems, regional history, and historical geography, with a particular emphasis on Eastern Anatolia and Balkan regions. Key areas of interest include provincial governance structures, economic practices, and ethnic dynamics in historical contexts.
His work has been published in journals such as Cihannüma: Tarih ve Coğrafya Araştırmaları Dergisi, Osmanlı Tarihi Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezi Dergisi OTAM, and Electronic Turkish Studies. Notable contributions include studies on Van Lake trade networks, Ottoman terminology in administrative regions, and the governance of provinces like Rumeli and Silistre.
Dr. Kılıç’s publications frequently analyze archival documents to shed light on topics such as early modern Ottoman military logistics, feudal systems (e.g., malikane), and the social history of minority groups like Armenians in Van. His research bridges the gap between administrative practices, economic activities, and cultural dynamics within the Ottoman Empire.
