Allied forces declared the occupation of Istanbul.[3] The magazine came out biweekly.[4]

Major contributors of Dergâh included

Fuat Köprülü, Ziya Gökalp[3] and Hilmi Ziya Ülken.[6] Future politician Fevzi Lütfi Karaosmanoğlu started his journalistic career in the magazine.[7][8] All these writers were supporters of the Independence War due to which some issues of the magazine were censored by the Allied administration.[3][9] They also supported the ideas of the French philosopher Henri Bergson, and the magazine became the mouthpiece for his Turkish followers.[10][11]

Dergâh acted as an intellectual platform which reinforced the traditionalist conservatism.[12] It was among the early Turkish periodicals which covered articles on folklore.[13]

Dergâh folded on 5 January 1922 after producing a total of forty-two issues.[3][14]
