أهمية عرائض أهالي الزيبان خلال القرن التاسع عشر في كتابة التاريخ المحلي للمنطقة

الملخص EN

The research paper tagged with: The importance of the petitions of the people of Zeban during the nineteenth century in writing the local history of the region.

Is it possible for the latter to be a source of historical writing, given the lack of local sources on the history of the region during the nineteenth century? To answer the problem, we first tried to define the role of the archival document in historical writing.

After that, we set the definition of civil petitions, and then provided practical examples of some of the petitions that were directed by the inhabitants of the Zeban region to the French colonial authorities during the nineteenth century.

We then also employed these petitions and complaints and the information they contained in writing the history of the region during the period of the petitions submitted.

Perhaps the conclusion we reached is that the petition or complaint is an archival document that can cover the lack of local resources, but with the need to criticize it and know its context and nature.

Finally, we invited researchers to explore it, as it opens up broad research horizons for them
