Summary/Abstract: The roots of Turkish miniature history date back approximately to the 8th century. Although the visuals and data that can be accessed for such a wide period of time are mostly examined in separate publications and in certain sections, there is no study that enables to see the general historical course in which the visuals and information are together. The main Turkish, Iranian and Arab civilizations and their accessible miniature history and images were brought together with infographic studies in the doctoral thesis named “Infographic Display of the History of Miniature from the 8th Century to the Present" study, which was set out to fill this gap in the literature. In these infographics, the manuscripts and works produced by each state in certain years have been transformed into a visual that can be traced along with their visual and information. In this article adapted from the doctoral thesis, the production process of infographics is tried to be explained. It consists of reviewing the literature, organizing information, drawing infographics on paper, transferring these drawings to the digital media and finalizing the study by arranging them in accordance with the infographic design.
