Abstract

Hungarian historiography has always shown great interest towards the libraries and archives of Istanbul. Starting from the second half of the 19th century Ármin Vámbéry made the first steps to secure access to Ottoman sources for Hungarian historians and experts. Later, between 1907 and 1911, Imre Karácson conducted research in Istanbul. His journal provides a detailed look into his correspondence with accomplished Hungarian and Turkish researchers of that time, everyday life in Istanbul, political struggles, the birth of Turkish historiography, the foundation of the Turkish Historical Society and the debates surrounding it. Karácson witnessed the Young Turk Revolution in Istanbul, the ascension of the new Sultan and his girding with the Sword of Osman, a ceremony equivalent in significance to coronation. He took photographs of the celebrating crowd and the march with open carriages with his own camera from the ship that took the new Sultan to Eyüp. The primary source for present study was the journal of Imre Karácson, the original manuscript as well as its typewritten version. Out of the several interesting topics discussed in the journal I’m focusing on the events in Istanbul from the Young Turk Rebellion, more specifically the second declaration of the Ottoman constitution (23 July 1908) to the dethronement of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (27 April 1909) and the ascension of Sultan Mehmed Resad V.
