The present study aims to develop a model for public administration. The authors try to use the science of history to provide this opportunity to decision-makers, policymakers, and government managers that they can use to carefully examine a model of governance. One of the best models in this regard is the governance of Amirkabir. In this study, following the conceptual framework approach and using the documentary research method, focusing on studying and reviewing primary sources and texts, essential data in historical sources have been extracted. While reviewing in the form of an exploratory and inductive plan, we presented a relatively clear picture of the governance of Amirkabir. The proposed conceptual framework of this research consists of 189 concepts organized in the form of 23 categories, 12 themes, and six dimensions. The extracted concepts are also categorized. A number of the concepts are placed in a category, and the related categories locate in a theme, and the related themes form dimension. The identified dimensions are political measures, cultural measures, bureaucratic measures, protection measures, economic measures, and social measures obtained with the cooperation of the Association of Experts. The framework provides a basis for understanding the various aspects of Amirkabir governance and finally provides a conceptual model of this politician's actions that can be a reference for managers and policymakers in public administration in Iran. This study shows that historical data can be used to define new concepts and new components in public administration.
