近40年来仪器记录的地震数据表明了地球的总体地震活动性。然而，检查历史记录对于了解长期地震活动是必要的。关于土耳其历史地震的目录研究很有限。所有这些目录都是印刷的，并且尚未准备好数字数据库。另一方面，该地区近期发生的破坏性地震（Mw>=5.5）的震源机制解还没有通用数据库。本研究旨在为地球科学家准备两个新的数字数据库，以便从单一来源获得地震参数。第一个是“土耳其历史地震目录”，其中包括公元前 2100 年至公元前 2100 年之间发生的地震的参数。公元 1963 年。该数据库包含大约 2285 个事件，并以电子补充形式提供。第二个数据集“土耳其震源机制解目录”包含 1938 年至 2004 年间发生的破坏性地震的断层面解参数。收集了破坏性地震的所有可用机制解，尽管通过互联网报告的全球矩张量解未包含在本研究中。
The earthquake data from instrumental records in the last 40 years indicate the general seismicity of the earth. However, examining historical records is necessary to understand long-term seismicity. Catalogue studies about historical earthquakes in Turkey are limited. All these catalogues are on printed paper and a digital database has not yet been prepared. On the other hand, there is no common database for the focal mechanism solutions of the recent destructive earthquakes (Mw>=5.5) in the region. The present study aims to prepare two new digital databases for earth scientists so that the earthquake parameters can be reached from a single source. The first one is `The Historical Earthquake Catalogue of Turkey´ which includes parameters of the earthquakes occurring between 2100 B.C. and 1963 A.D. This database contains approximately 2285 events and is presented as an electronic supplement. The second dataset, `The Focal Mechanism Solutions Catalogue of Turkey´, contains fault plane solution parameters of the destructive earthquakes occurring between 1938 and 2004. All available mechanism solutions of the destructive earthquakes were collected, although the global moment tensor solutions reported via the internet were not included in the present study.
