| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The Document Center at the Holy Shrine of Imam Reza contains documents that cover several centuries. The Directorate of Documents and Publications was established in 1998. Prior to that, the documents and publications were kept in the Central Library. The Publications Archives was established in 1980 in the form of an independent organization with emphasis on the collection of publications that were endowed (vaqf), donated, or bought. In 1990, documents on the Holy Places, including the early history of this Holy Shrine of Imam Reza, were made available to the library. These documents and collections of publications were grouped together in one independent unit under the name of the Archives of Publications and Documents. |
