Ways of preserving national and cultural heritage in the post-Imperial period

This article examines the cultural policy of the Ottoman Empire specifically the state acts aimed at preserving the national and cultural heritage of the state in the period after the publication of the Tanzimat Edict. During this period, the Ottoman state was being increasingly subjugated by foreign powers and the Turkish intelligentsia, which had been formed through the development of an educational environment, was seriously concerned with the preservation of the state's cultural heritage. As a result, the government issued several special laws regulating actions regarding national-cultural values, which are cited and analyzed in this article.
