The Myanmar Historical Commission (Burmese: မြန်မာနိုင်ငံ သမိုင်း ကော်မရှင်; formerly, the Burma Historical Commission) is an academic research organization focused on Burma studies. The commission was founded in 1955 by the Burmese government to produce an official version of national history.[1] It regularly publishes the Bulletin of the Myanmar Historical Commission, and holds conferences in the country.[2] As of 2009, the Commission had published six volumes of modern Burmese history from 1947 onward.[3]
