Nashriyah (lit. 'Publication' in Persian) is the name of a freely-available digital collection of Iranian print media, created and maintained by the University of Manchester Library.[1] The project was launched in 2016 after two years of digitization works, and mainly includes newspapers and magazines published during the 1950s, as well as the late 1970s.[2] Though the archive misses a large number of important periodicals and some of its collections are incomplete, it has made rare publications available for the first time.
