This paper surveys the production of historical knowledge in post-independence Morocco. In doing so, the author divides the profession of forming historical knowledge into three distinct generations of Moroccan historians: pioneering historians; the generation of prodigious historians; and the generation of scarcity of historical production. The author contextualizes the production of historical knowledge within the wider historical circumstances of Morocco, particularly with regards to the situation within the Moroccan academy. After discussing the birth of Moroccan academic history, the author moves on to explore the range of  topics which historians from Morocco embraced and the broad trends of Moroccan historical schools of thought through time and in various circumstances.
