Digital Gallery

The Forgotten Crosses of Persia Digital Gallery is being developed to make Persian Christian history visible through carefully researched and responsibly presented exhibitions.

Future exhibitions will bring together historical photographs, manuscripts, inscriptions, sacred sites, architecture, maps, artworks, objects, and community memories. Each exhibition will place visual materials within their historical context and provide source, ownership, provenance, and rights information wherever available.

Future Exhibition Areas

Churches & Sacred Sites

Historic churches, monasteries, cemeteries, pilgrimage places, ruins, and Christian landscapes.

Manuscripts & Inscriptions

Texts, translations, inscriptions, liturgical materials, and documentary evidence.

People & Communities

Christian individuals, families, churches, movements, and communities across historical periods.

Objects & Material Culture

Crosses, books, vessels, textiles, seals, memorials, and other objects connected with Christian life.

Maps & Sacred Geography

Maps, timelines, and visual accounts of Christian presence, movement, settlement, pilgrimage, trade, and cultural exchange.

Other

Other historically significant visual materials or objects that do not fit naturally within the main exhibition areas.

DIGITAL GALLERY COLLECTION

Explore Published Gallery Items

Published Gallery records can be explored together or by exhibition area. Each item opens to a dedicated page with historical context, provenance, rights and permission information, accessibility details, source information, and related research.

In Development

Our First Digital Exhibition

Our first digital exhibition is now being researched and developed. It will demonstrate how carefully sourced images, objects, places, and historical interpretation can work together to recover an overlooked chapter of Persian Christian memory.

Historical Materials

Submit Historical Materials
