On April 17, 2017, the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University established the endowed position, The Carter V. Findley Professorship in Ottoman and Turkish History. This endowment will support the study of Ottoman and modern Turkish history, a field taught and studied at The Ohio State University since the 1930s, and to enhance the national and international competitiveness and distinction of the university in this field.

 

This professorship is complemented by the Carter V. Findley Fellowship for the Study of Ottoman and Turkish History. Both funds carry the name of Professor Emeritus Findley recognizing both his academic contributions to the field and his many years of dedicated international fundraising efforts on behalf of this field of study in the Department of History.
