World Turkish Cuisine Institutional Heritage Inventory
WTCA’s internal documentation and appraisal record of examined culinary publications.
The inventory is kept under the name World Turkish Cuisine Institutional Heritage Inventory. Earlier institutional wording referred to it as the World Turkish Cuisine Heritage List; the record is the same and the change is one of accuracy, not of scope.
An entry records that the Academy has examined a published work and set down its appraisal. Where an appraisal reference has been verified for public citation it is given with the entry. Where it has not, that is stated and no reference number is supplied.

World Turkish Cuisine Institutional Heritage Inventory
The list is an institutional heritage inventory rather than a reading list. A work is entered only after it has been examined, and the entry is recorded together with the appraisal that supports it. Where the appraisal reference has been verified it is given with the entry; where verification is still in progress, that is stated.
This is the appropriate scholarly form. Publishing a title alone states a conclusion without its grounds; publishing the title with its assessment reference allows a reader to ask for the reasoning and, if it is mistaken, to challenge it. Extended excerpts from the works themselves are not reproduced, since the register documents the assessment and not the text, and the copyright in those works remains with their rightsholders.
