Humanity has established various civilizations in many basins from Hijaz to Bilad al-Sham, from Iraq al-Ajam to Khorasan, from Maghreb to Andalusia, from Sindh to Hind, from Maveraünnehir to Turkistan, from Anatolia to Rumelia. Many dynasties that ruled over these basins contributed to the historiography of themselves, the basin and humanity. Although these sources are known by researchers working on the period, they are not known in a holistic manner by scholars who want to study these basins, especially young historians and researchers.
With this workshop series, it is aimed to introduce the historical sources written in the main civilization basins with their technical features and to show the historical sources accumulated in the basin from the past to the present in a holistic manner. In this respect, the workshop series, which started with the Iranian basin, is planned to continue in Central Asia, Africa, India and Anatolia.
