Our mission
Persian Heritage exists to make the depth and continuity of Iranian civilization accessible to a global audience — students, travellers, researchers, and the wider Iranian diaspora. We bring together history, art, architecture, language, science, and living culture in a single, free, ad-free resource.
Editorial standards
Every page is researched against authoritative sources including Encyclopædia Iranica, UNESCO, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and peer-reviewed scholarship. Where dates or interpretations are contested, we say so. Imagery is drawn from Wikimedia Commons and credited museum collections under open licences.
Scope
We cover the Iranian world broadly — from prehistoric Elam and Jiroft, through the Achaemenid, Parthian, Sasanian, Samanid, Safavid, and Qajar dynasties, into modern Iran and the Persianate cultural sphere stretching from Anatolia to Tajikistan and beyond. Persian language, Nowruz, Zoroastrianism, Sufism, miniature painting, gardens, and cuisine all have a place here.
Independence
Persian Heritage is non-political and non-sectarian. We do not endorse any government, religious authority, or political movement. Our focus is the shared cultural patrimony of all Iranians and the broader Persianate world.
