Comprising around 1,000 documents related to Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’s death, Atatürk in the Press: November 10 Archive is now accessible at archives.saltresearch.org.

Recently added to the City, Society, and Economy Archive at Salt Research, the collection includes press clippings from 1938 published in newspapers such as Tan, Kurun, Akşam, Cumhuriyet, Ulus, Anadolu, Yeni Sabah, and Son Posta, as well as the magazines Yarım Ay, Ev, Karikatür, Yücel, and Türk Tiyatrosu and local newspapers Ayvaz, Manisa, and Kırklarili. These materials are complemented by photographs documenting Atatürk’s funeral procession from Istanbul to Ankara.

The documents and photographs digitized from the collections of Ömer Bilgin and Sabri Sayarı constitute the basis for the publication Türk Basınında Atatürk: Kasım 1938 [Atatürk in the Turkish Press: November 1938] (NMC Television Broadcasting, Advertising, and Production, 2023) by Nuri Çolakoğlu and Aytaç Demirci, marking the 100th anniversary of the Republic and the 85th anniversary of Atatürk’s passing.
