Analysis of Local Historiography of Post-Constitutional Iran (1324-1336 AH)

The local historiography of the Qajar period changed under the influence of this period's political and social developments. This study examined three indicators in 6 works of local post-constitutional historiography by introducing them: nationalism (archaism), the reflection of constitutional political events in these works, and lack of overseas attitudes and perspectives. This study aimed to determine the extent to which local post-constitutional histories were influenced by the constitutional movement and writers' positions about this. The data was examined using the library method and descriptive-analytical method. The research results indicated that Bakhtiari history and Evaz Delgosha's history were pro-constitutional and somewhat familiar with the concepts of nationalism and reflected them in the same way. Still, the two anti-constitutional works, Asar-al-Reza and Nesf-e-Jahan History, were disregarding nationalism and constitutional events. Two books of Bandar Abbas and the Persian Gulf and the history of Larestan, which have expressed a neutral position, reflected nationalism. Still, they did not address the constitutional events, and in general, did not have a broad and foreign perspective.
