| The Orphan Custody and Funds were established in 1851 in order to protect and evaluate the socioeconomic rights of orphans. The capital of the Eytam chests is generally accumulated from the parents and heirs of the orphans; all kinds of inherited cash, jewellery, foundation and salary incomes, which are existing assets, as well as landed properties such as vineyards, gardens, fields, houses, farms. From these revenues, cash and jewellery were transferred to the funds and invested at interest. The money delivered to the orphan chest was utilized in several ways. First of all, it was lent with interest for tradesmen, merchants, civil servants and farmers to meet to meet their needs. Some of the duties of the Custody are to make good use of the orphans' properties and to bring them into the economy, and to help orphans and paupers who do not have any property. In this study, the debt book kept by Antalya Orphan Fund while carrying out the supply of money to commercial life between 1922 and 1924 was examined. While dealing with the subject, firstly, the study briefly summarized the organization of the Orphan Custody (Directorate) and Funds in the center and provinces (Antalya). Although the State was the biggest customer of the funds, the focus has been the finance provided by the fund to the tradesmen, merchants, farmers and civil servants of the region, since the subject was the valuation of orphans' properties by Antalya Orphan Fund. From the Guaranteed Debt Book for Antalya Orphan Fund that we examined, many information is found about the operating system of the Orphan Fund and the interest practices of the period. For example, how could a person borrow money from a fund? When borrowing money, how could he/she provide surety? What kind of properties were given as mortgage? How were the applied interest rates and the debt agreement regulated in the period when the bill was issued? Such questions can be answered in the debt book. In the meantime, answers were sought for questions such as what the professional groups of people who have withdrawn money from Antalya Orphan Fund were and what kind of mortgage and surety they provided in return for the money they withdrew. While searching for answers to these questions, the debt books kept in the orphan funds were emphasized. However, the physical and content introduction of the debt book kept by Antalya Orphan Fund between 1922 and 1924 was made. According to the book we examined, in addition to the social and economic structure of Antalya, its financial structure, trading transactions and some other features were revealed. |
