Summary/Abstract

This photo essay provides a visual archive of Parsi philanthropic efforts toward the Iranian Zoroastrian communities of Yazd, Kerman, and Tehran during the 1930s. The essay reproduces a collection of photographs from a photo album produced by the Iranian Zoroastrian Anjoman (est. 1918) for the benefit of Parsi audiences in Bombay. These photographs were taken and compiled by administrators of the Parsi-funded charities in order to demonstrate to Bombay-based Parsi benefactors how their charity efforts were being used inside Iran. The essay also discusses the importance of including visual archival material as part of the social and cultural history of modern Iran, as well as the unique sets of challenges that such archival preservation represents.

Summary/Abstract	For some years after I arrived in America to study, when my mother called from Tehran every fornight on Friday no matter what, illness or shortage or war or bombs, I would tell her to put the phone down and ring the outside doorbell of our house so that I could hear my dog, Lady, bark in response.
