In addition to personal memoirs of “hidden Armenians” several photographic collections documenting the history of the Armenians in Turkey and their fate in World War I are contributing to the expanding debate among civil society of the subject. A major work appeared in 2005 by Osman Köker, entitled Armenians in Turkey 100 Years Ago with the Postcards of Orlando Carlo Calumeno. It consists of a collection of postcards documenting Armenian life in the Ottoman Empire. The photos were on display at several exhibits and a second volume of the book appeared in January 2013. http://invisiblebridges.wordpress.com/2011/05/24/armenians-in-turkey-through-postcards/
In April 2013 an exhibit opened at the DEPO, a center for cultural and critical exchange in Istanbul. http://www.depoistanbul.net/en/about.asp
The exhibit displayed pictures of one Armenian family, the Dildilians, who worked as photographers during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. A descendant Armen Marsoobian documented their history. http://www.depoistanbul.net/en/activites_detail.asp?ac=88
Turkish press also covered the event. http://www.todayszaman.com/news-316611-an-exhibition-about-a-family-forced-to-leave-their-home.html
