Erzurum Muallimler Birliği Ve Yayin Organi Olan (Erzurum) Muallimler Birliği Mecmuasi
Erzurum Teachers Union and its Journal: (Erzurum) Muallimler Birliği

Summary/Abstract: During the first years of Turkish Republic, Erzurum was one of the most significant cultural centers of Eastern Anatolia, as it was throughout the history. Despite all the deprivations which resulted from the World War I and Turkish National Struggle, the city contributed not only to the national resistance groups (Müdafaa-i Hukuk Cemiyetleri) but also to the establishment of cultural societies. The organization of teachers which started in 1908 during the Ottoman Empire under the name Encümen-i Muallim (The Council of Teachers) continued to function with different names until the first years of Turkish Republic. This initiative that was institutionalized with “Türkiye Muallim ve Muallimeler Dernekleri Birliği” and named as Türkiye Muallimler Birliği in its general congress of 1924 had a branch in Erzurum called Erzurum Muallimler Birliği. Erzurum Muallimler Birliği carried out important functions both in socio-cultural and economic fields, but it turned to a federative organization as Türkiye Muallimler Birliği transformed to confederation in 1928. This research analyzes the organization, activities and the subjects of the periodical (Muallimler Birliği) of Erzurum Muallimler Birliği.
