There are many data used
in historical research studies which are preserved in the forms of documents,
records, almanacs, journals and memoires that shed light on events or help us
understand them from various aspects. On the other hand, verbal resources, the
witnesses of the period from past to date, are first-hand documents of such
kind, but are different in that they were not recorded. The objective of this
study is to draw attention to the contribution of verbal sources and memory
studies which can present more humane, or “realistic” aspect of the issues
scrutinized in history studies. Hence, as the subject of history, verbal
sources will be recorded under the name of social memory and put under
protection. By this means, the historian will look out for history’s retrospective
marks, therefore the other half of history that completes the other part of it.
In this sense, the study aims at revealing the need for developing historical
research studies from this aspect.
