Digital Library
The Forgotten Crosses of Persia Digital Library is being developed as a curated gateway to sources and scholarship concerning the diverse history of Christianity in Iran and the wider Persianate world.
The collection will gradually bring together selected bibliographies, historical sources, publications, archival references, and carefully reviewed external-resource pathways. Its purpose is not to host copies of copyrighted books or publications, but to help researchers, students, churches, Persian-speaking Christians, and interested readers discover reliable sources and legitimate places where those resources can be found or accessed.
Explore Collection Areas
Selected Bibliographies
Books, articles, dissertations, and scholarly resources organized by subject and period.
Historical Sources
Links and references to translated chronicles, letters, church records, missionary accounts, inscriptions, and other primary materials.
Building the Library Carefully
The Digital Library is currently in its foundational stage. Resources will be added gradually following review for historical reliability, relevance, copyright, provenance, sensitivity, and appropriate permissions.
Browse Published Library Resources
Published Library records can be explored together or by collection area. Each record opens to its own page with bibliographic details, source and rights information, legitimate access pathways, curator context, and related research.
Using Sources Responsibly
The Digital Library functions as a bibliographic and external-resource discovery platform. It will not host copies of copyrighted books or publications unless explicit permission is later obtained. Visitors will instead follow external links to legitimate locations where resources can be found or accessed. A reference or link may be included for research value without implying endorsement of every interpretation it contains.
Research Value with Responsible Use
Report an Issue with the Digital Library
If you notice an error, broken source link, rights concern, or accessibility barrier, please let the project know. The report link carries the Digital Library page context so the issue can be reviewed more easily.
