Baha’i Persecution Archives is a digital archive to bring together thousands of documents about the persecution of Baha’is in Iran.  Most documents are made public for the first time.  The extensive collection will be processed and published over time.  The archive is searchable, with downloadable images and text, in Persian and English. The aim is to provide a reliable and accessible source of documents of persecution of the Baha’i community in Iran.
