Nashriyah (lit. 'Publication' in Persian) is the name of a freely-available digital collection of Iranian print media, created and maintained by the University of Manchester Library.[1] The project was launched in 2016 after two years of digitization works, and mainly includes newspapers and magazines published during the 1950s, as well as the late 1970s.[2] Though the archive misses a large number of important periodicals and some of its collections are incomplete, it has made rare publications available for the first time.

Archive

The archive currently covers two periods of the Mohammad Mosaddegh administration and the Iranian Revolution.
