A few years ago, I started a Twitter account (long gone) with the intention of tweeting about new publications in Iranian Studies. However, I soon found the Twitter format unsuitable and abandoned the idea. Unsatisfied with Facebook’s search capabilities, where information is difficult to retrieve (a black hole), I decided to create a website to announce publications and events relevant to Iranian Studies. At the end of 2013, I launched a new iteration of my personal website. The idea of a bibliographic blog gained traction, and I received positive and encouraging feedback from colleagues. In May 2015, I created Bibliographia Iranica, a predominantly bibliographic blog for Iranian Studies, also known as BiblioIranica, and moved that feature to the new website.
BiblioIranica is a collective effort, with its associated social media platforms sharing information on recent publications and events in Iranian Studies. The field is understood in its broadest sense, spanning from antiquity through late antiquity and the early Islamic era, with occasional excursions into neighbouring disciplines, regions, and periods.
