The purpose of this research is to study the role that the social and economic reforms of Reza Shah played in the demographic structure of Bushehr and eventually the migration of the native inhabitants of this region to the surrounding areas. Methodology/Approach: This research uses a descriptive-analytic method، is based on library resources and analyzes the collected data historically. The findings show that the reforms of this period overshadowed many social، religious and ethnic traditions and led to changes in the social، economic and cultural structure of various regions، including the coasts of the Persian Gulf in which the tribal system had strong foundations. On the other hand، the special geographic and trading character of the Persian Gulf coasts had attracted various groups and tribes to this region and this had caused the region to be more influenced by external factors. The inability of the traditional society to assert its requirements against the changes، as well as the influence of domestic and foreign capitalism brought declining prosperity for natives of this region. Many native inhabitants of Iranian seaports migrated to the seaports of Arabic countries which provided them with better opportunities.

The purpose of this research is to study the struggles and conflicts between Poshtkouh governors and the Ottoman government over salt mines that were located in the border between Iran and Ottoman Empire in the period 1838-1928. Methodology/Approach: This research uses a descriptive and analytic method and is based on available records and library resources. After evaluating and analyzing historical data، organization and deduction is carried out. The findings show that one of the areas of conflict between Poshtkouh (Ilam) governors and the pashas of Baghdad - who owed allegiance to the Ottoman government - was the salt mines. These mines were around the northwest of Poshtkouh and the borders between Iran and the Ottoman Empire. The mines were called Dashtlag، Tarike، and Davdar. The economic importance of these mines and the efforts of Poshtkouh governors and the pashas of Baghdad seeking to take control over these mines lead to conflicts between the two parties. Hassan Khan –the first governor of Poshtkouh – and his son، Heidar Khan secured their dominance over the mines، and Heidar Khan even took control over the salt mine in the Ottoman territory. But for several reasons، Abbas-Gholi Khan was not successful in keeping control of the mines and they were seized by the Ottomans during his time. After Abbas-Gholi Khan، his cousin، Hossein-Gholi Khan، known as Abou-ghadareh، became the governor of Poshtkouh. He reclaimed the salt mines from the Ottomans، and during the period of Hosein-Gholi Khan’s son، Gholamreza Khan، the mines remained within Poshtkouh territory without concern. This research included a record-based survey to study the conflicts between the two countries and how they were resolved.

The purpose of this research is to study the Formation and Function of the Baladiyeh Assembly of Tabriz in during the First National Consultative Assembly. Methodology/Approach: This research uses a descriptive-analytic method and is based on available records and library resources، especially newspapers. Conclusions are made after studying and analyzing the collected data. The findings show that members of the first National Consultative Assembly approved the Baladiyeh law in a specific period after a great deal of discussions. Instituting the Baladiyeh Assembly in some cities of Iran led to the formation of one of the most important civil institutions. Tabriz – with its special geographical location، modern-thinking scholars، and people who opposed government policies - was one of the few cities which instituted Baladiyeh Assembly in Iran. Despite the expectations which this city created، the Baladiyeh Assembly faced much ignorance. However، the assembly succeeded in solving some livelihood and welfare problems of the people. These included regulating the price of food، repairing streets and alleys، and health and treatment activities.

This research has been carried out with the aim of improving the quality of the method for documentation of paper-based works and creating online databases through general-research IDs، conservation-repair IDs، and status forms. Methodology/Approach: The research method included library study، field study and study of electronic papers and books. This was carried out to study the background of documentation and the standard structure of digital documentation and presenting a standard pattern for paper-based works. The findings and conclusions of this research show that comprehensive documentation – preparing a standard ID for paper-based works – not only protects the data but is also an important and basic measure in risk management (as one of the strategies for preventive conservation). Furthermore، the database provides researchers and experts with online data about paper-based works immediately.
