The “Turkish Historical Society 100th Anniversary Library,” established by the Turkish Historical Society in university libraries on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Republic, was opened for service with a ceremony held at Ondokuz Mayıs University Central Library.

The opening ceremony of the special collection consisting of Turkish Historical Society publications was held with the participation of Samsun Deputy Governor and Atakum District Governor Murat Bulacak, Turkish Historical Society President Prof. Dr. Yüksel Özgen, Acting Samsun Chief Public Prosecutor Turgut Türkmen, and OMU Rector Prof. Dr. Fatma Aydın.

The program was also attended by Vice Rectors Prof. Dr. Alper Kesten, Prof. Dr. Çetin Kurnaz, and Prof. Dr. Ayşe Pınar Sumer, Secretary General Prof. Dr. Erhan Burak Pancar, Turkish Historical Society Scientific Board Member Prof. Dr. İbrahim Tellioğlu, historian Prof. Dr. Nedim İpek, whose many works are included in the Turkish Historical Society Library, Prof. Dr. Kaya Tuncer Çağlayan, Prof. Dr. İbrahim Serbestoğlu, Prof. Dr. Cevdet Yılmaz, Head of the Library and Documentation Department Uğur Donbay, as well as academics and students.

Within the scope of the ceremony, a special collection of approximately 1,600 works consisting of Turkish Historical Society publications was made available to researchers, students, and citizens.

Rector Aydın: “Language and history are among the most important elements in the formation of our identity”

Delivering the opening speech of the program, Rector Prof. Dr. Fatma Aydın stated that the Turkish Historical Society has carried out important work in terms of scientific and cultural heritage:

“Today, we have come together on the occasion of the donation of the library prepared by the Turkish Historical Society for the 100th anniversary of our Republic to our university. Language and history are among the most important elements in the formation of our identity. Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk also drew attention to the importance of this issue by donating his personal inheritance to both the Turkish Historical Society and the Turkish Language Association. With this awareness, the Turkish Historical Society carries out very valuable publishing activities and academic studies, making significant contributions to world history, the Turkic world, and our country.”

Stating that the donated works would make an important contribution to academic studies, Aydın said, “Today, very valuable publications are being brought to our university. Our students, academics, and citizens in our city will be able to benefit from these resources and make use of them in their education and academic studies.”

Prof. Dr. Özgen: “We want to emphasize history, social sciences, and books”

Turkish Historical Society President Prof. Dr. Yüksel Özgen, in his speech, referred to the institution’s founding mission and ongoing work, drawing attention to the importance Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk attached to the Turkish Historical Society.

Özgen said, “The Turkish Historical Society was personally founded by Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the founder of our Republic, and Atatürk closely followed the institution’s activities throughout his lifetime. Later, he donated his own inheritance to the Turkish Historical Society so that its activities would not be interrupted. On this occasion, I commemorate with respect and gratitude Gazi Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, and all the heroes, veterans, and martyrs of the National Struggle.”

Stating that the libraries established at universities on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Republic have attracted great interest, Özgen continued:

“To emphasize the 100th anniversary of our Republic, books, and libraries, we began establishing Turkish Historical Society 100th Anniversary Libraries in the central libraries of our universities. The interest we have received from our universities and especially from our students has made us extremely happy. In the coming period, we will continue our efforts to ensure that Turkish Historical Society publications are available in the central libraries of all universities in Türkiye.”

Following the speeches, the opening of the “Turkish Historical Society 100th Anniversary Library” was held with a ribbon-cutting ceremony by protocol members.
