Summary/Abstract: U historiografiji Derviš M. Korkut je prepoznat kao čuvar poznate sarajevske Hagade tokom Drugog svjetskog rata ili kao osoba koja je primila čarter Righteous Among Nations Yad Vashem centra. U njegovu čast, prezentovane su manje poznate činjenice iz njegovog života. Vezani su za njegov edukacijski period i prve godine kao zaposlene osobe do 1929., referirajući se na dokumente iz ličnog dosjea koji su čuvani u Arhivi Bosne i Hercegovine. Iz ovih dokumenata naučili smo o Korkutovoj edukaciji, njegovom radu u školama, u Ministarstvu religije, u državnom muzeju i o njegovoj kooperaciji sa brojnim magazinima. In historiography Derviš M.
