Tahrir Registers are records of all kinds of income and taxes collected in the Ottoman Classical Age. These registers of land and tax records may also contain information about the Ottoman socio-economic structure. Besides land and tax records, they contain information about the characteristics of the population (married, single, elderly, disabled), religious affiliation, population mobility, regional diversity of agricultural and industrial production, and tax exemption status by profession. In addition, they give information about professions and according to production which professions were more in the forefront.
