Edit links
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Memory of the World Register in Iran includes 10 registered works. In 2005, Iran participated in the sixth edition of the UNESCO Memory of the World Programme for the first time by introducing two works of Shahnameh Baysanghari from Golestan Museum Palace and the endowment letter of Rabe Rashidi from Tabriz Central Library. Iran is one of the leading countries in terms of registration of works, having so far registered 10 works in the international register. It is ranked seventh in the world, and third among Asian countries after Korea and China. A further 70 works are on the waiting list. The Book of Vandidad, part of the Zoroastrian Bible, is one of the works that have been introduced for registration.
