Digital Discovery Collections

Begin with a story. Explore further with a collection. Read the stones of a city, everyday life and the questions behind the sources.

Explore freely first, then choose a reading file to take with you. This page is in English; the paid Istanbul files described here are in Turkish. An English website page does not translate the delivered PDF.

Reading Istanbul

Look beyond the skyline.

The Basilica Cistern, Hagia Sophia, Boukoleon, the Palace of the Porphyrogenitus, Galata Tower and Topkapı. Ask not only when they were built, but what they were for, who used them and how they changed.

Questions worth answering

How does a package differ from a free story?

Web stories are openly readable. A package consists of the downloadable reading and working files stated on its product page. Buying one package does not purchase every file on the website.

Is this a tour, museum ticket or printed book?

No. These are digital reading files. Transport, museum admission, guiding and physical shipping are not included.

Where do purchase and delivery happen?

The Istanbul link leads to the Shopier store. Check its description and delivery terms before buying. The existing support page is in Turkish; opening it does not submit an order or a support request.

Would I be buying a membership?

No. The current option is a one-time package. Any future membership would need separately stated access, period, price and cancellation terms.

Are the paid files in English?

The Istanbul files described here are Turkish. Nil and Ephesus are not on sale. Translating this collection page does not make an English PDF, video narration or subtitle track available.
