Electronic Publishing: A Modern Society Need
Most units at Hozeh Honari (the Art Center) were not equipped with computers when I was first employed by the Center about twenty years ago. The first periodical published almost daily at the Center was Baztab or Press Clippings. This publication in fact copied the articles published by other domestic periodicals about the Art Center. The said publication is still in circulation without any special hint of innovation, and what is more interesting is that some other subdivisions at the Center are independently (!) publishing similar pamphlets. However, it so seems that we live in a modern era which requires the omission of these traditional, expensive methods and applying new technologies.

Oral History Project revived after four decades
that is how an oral history project started by the Lompoc Historical Society and the Lompoc Museum in the late 1970s has nearly come to fruition today.
As Patricia Sazani, who grew up in Lompoc, was completing her anthropology degree at Columbia University, she got the idea to call the Lompoc Historical Society to ask if they would be interested in having her start an oral history project.
It turned out that they didn’t need someone to start an oral history project, they needed someone to finish one.

UKs Doug Boyd Schools Nation on Oral History Practices
Information in this day and age is rarely scarce, but often not collected and saved properly for future generations. However, one national project under the leadership of oral historian Doug Boyd, director of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History at University of Kentucky Libraries, hopes to remedy that through the dissemination of best practices via the Oral History in the Digital Age (OHDA).

Concurring with Islamic Nations’ Party
When I was officially accepted as a member of INP (1), I participated in some secret meetings. The first 3 meetings were held in Mr. Mir Mohammad Sadeghi or in the mosque. In these meetings, he would talk about my status in the party and my connections. There I understood that I could only be in contact with the individual higher than myself in party ranks. I would also participate in party classes just in the specified domain for me.
After the primary meeting I entered party classes. My task in this level was participating in classes and learning party teachings. Other than that I had to find and introduce trusted and enthusiastic people to be examined and then joined to the party.
Each member in the party had an ID number. Once when I was given this number for the first time, I thought to myself what a large number of people have joined the party that my number was that. This ID number and the imagination of having a several thousand members for the party, was a heartwarming reason for me to participate in the meetings, classes, activities and speeches.
In party classes, we would talk about the programs, the party manifest and goals and also the kind of government they were about to create and Islamic parliament.
The journal of Khalq [people](2) was the only organ of the party that I would read most and I had only permitted to have for 24 hours. After this time I had to give it back to the party to be available for another member. Beside that I would read books by Engineer Mehdi Bazargan & Dr. Yadollah Sahabi. The other things that they would teach us were the rules of working secretly, membership techniques, and organizational discipline. In some classes, some of writings, articles and analysis of Khalq would be discussed.
Our units commander in the party was Mr. Seyyed Mohammad Mir Mohammad Sadeghi and the other members of the class were Javad Mansouri and Hadi Shams Ha’eri (3). |
