Historical conception has entered a development process from early 20th century in Turkey. Formal institutions and intellectuals were the important functions affecting this process. During the formation of modern historical conception and writing, there became important developments within the Constitutional Period. Furthermore, the basic enterprises about the development of modern history and its settlement were established in the Turkey of Atatürk. Changes, transformations and tendencies in the historical conception are examined correspondingly with the transition community to nation. In this thesis, both influences of the works belonging to Turkologists from West on Turkish historians and development phases of historical conception are studied. Also the basic charecteristics of them are explained. Historical conception didn't show a development within the limits of historical schools that had philosophical qualities in Turkey unlike West. Thus, historical conception in Turkey can be studied within the limits of formal institutions and commitees, also the works of intellectuals. The general tendencies of history can be identified according to this wiev and modernism movements. Within the limits of the approach mentioned above, historical conception of institutions and committees, interested in historical writing in the Second Constitutional Period, the Independence War and Turkish Republic like TheX)ttoman Historical Society and The Turkish Historical Society and historical understanding of Ahmet Refik Altinay and Mehmet Fuat Köprülü are tried to be analyzied. Moreover, the subjects like classification, arranging and publication of archieves related to historical conception and writing are studied. In this study, we deal with how historical conception is reflected in historical textbooks and its influences on historical teaching in Turkey. vntrTürk İnkılap TarihidoctoralThesis
