Some new, so far unpublished sources would be introduced into scientific scrutiny, which have been detected by the respective authors in the middle of the archive collections of the Ottoman archives in Sofia and Istanbul: defters [tax registers], sigils, firmans and other single documents. On the basis of information extracted therefrom, in the focus of scientific interest will be placed a series of still understudied and entirely unknown structures and social groupings; there will be looked for social interconnexions and relationships between them in the field of formal and informal contacts and communication. With this project in view, the participants therein concentrated their attention on the following more specific research topics:
- „Social portrayals of exponents of various income groupings in the rural collectivities in Rumelia during ХVІІ c. – first half of ХVІІІ c.“(Stefka Pârveva);

The volume in memoriam of the distinguished Bulgarian specialist in Ottoman studies late Prof. Dr Elena Grozdanova, DSc. (1941-2011) is the result of the efforts of 19 historians and philologists alike who represent leading scientific centres and tertiary education institutions in Bulgaria and abroad. Papers and articles included in the volume refer to multifaceted issues belonging to the areas of socioeconomic, demographic, political, religious and cultural history of the Balkans and Southeastern Europe, including the Bulgarian lands during the period XV-XIX c.; numerous studies tackling topics dealt with even by Prof. Grozdanova herself. The common denominator of the materials contained in the volume is the authors’ striving to bring into scientific use and to interpret new, novel or less known and less utilized sources– predominantly but not exclusively Ottoman archive documents; thereby they pay their respect for Elena Grozdanova as a historian and source researcher. Besides aforementioned studies the volume contains several texts originating from the personal archive of Prof. Grozdanova, as well as a detailed bibliography of her oeuvre.

The historical demography of the Bulgarian communities in Macedonia and Ukraine (ends of XIX c. – to the middles of XX c.): a statistic analysis
The project follows the guidelines of the Contest “Young scholars 2011“, part of Scientific Research Fund with the Ministry of Education, Youth and Science
Duration: 2011, ongoing
In charge: Asst. Prof. Dr. Stanislava Stoycheva
Participants: Asst. Prof. Dr. Inna Manasieva (IHS – Bulgarian Academy of Sciences), senior expert Dr. D. Martinovski (State Agency for Bulgarians abroad), Dr. М. Vâlkov (Museum of Military History)
The project examines number, demographic indicators, traits and processes among Bulgarian communities in two different ethnocultural environments, namely the historical and geographical regions of Macedonia and Ukraine from the end of XIX c. to the middles of XX c. The project is based upon unknown archive documents, as well as on reconsidering some already published and known ones, analysed through sophisticated interdisciplinary statistical (quantative) and historical methodology. A paramount goal for researchers is to form a database mostly of archive origin (coming out from Bulgarian, Ukrainian and other foreign archive depositories), thereby suitable and well-defined statistical samples will be secured that will enable subsequent scientific analysis and synthesis. This way it will be allowed sustainable development for further research on the project topics for a longer timespan. Obtained scientific results during the first phase of the project confirmed that: the workgroup’s members have delivered scholarly presentations in front of several international scientific conferences, national conferences, and academic lectures abroad etc.
