Thanks to the audience, writers and all those friends who were and worked with us in 1395 SH, we congratulate arrival of the New Year (1396 SH).
Since beginning of the last year and through collaboration of writers and reporters who joined our group, we tried interview, which is main form of activity in field of oral history, to be included more in the site; as we tried all of contents and materials to be produced.
Among regular activities of the website one could point out parts of "Multimedia" and "Books and Periodicals", which in each week we presented one or more than one book and a short film of oral memories for the audience. It will be continued in the New Year. Posted contents of telegram channel of Oral History Website were also received and doubled visiting the site.
Having 350 contents that were loaded on a daily basis during the year 1395 SH, 48 weekly issues of oral history - from 246 to 294- were released. Most visited over the years were also for titles of
سخنرانی امام موسی صدر، آمبولانس حمل بیسیم و جعبه جادویی کد و رمزها، فرمانده عجیب گردان 139 و خلبانان بزرگترین نبرد هوایی جهان
Among the contents, pages of other languages of Iran Oral History Website (English, Arabic and Urdu) were also active and updated by publishing at least translation of two selected texts among Persian part of the website in a week.
As well as, for the New Year we are trying, in addition to the films, to post a piece of oral history interviews audios on "Multimedia" each week. As well as, since we found out that we need theoretical discussions of oral history, we will advantage and benefit professors and the experienced in the area, and strengthen parts of "Article", "Education" and "Notes".
In "Report" and "Congress" parts, like last year, all sessions and conferences related to oral history as well as book launches of memory books, memory nights and workshops are covered.
If you have a new idea or thought shared it us as Oral History Website progresses through continuous effort for promoting process of its activities. We hope that we could do a deserved service for our country's oral history in the coming year.

The Editor's Missing Place on the “Deck”
The book From Deck to Heaven offers a relatively fresh approach to examining the role of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army Navy (AJA) during the eight years of the Sacred Defense, published under the “Oral History of the Islamic Revolution” series.

I wanted to celebrate the new year with my family. Together with two relief workers I boarded buses designated for transporting the wounded to Choubideh and received our mission orders. We waited for a helicopter to take us to Bandar Imam Khomeini. I was stationed near the helicopter’s touchdown zone and was slight in build. As the helicopter was about to land, I could not steady myself; the breeze generated by the rotor blades lifted me off the ground.Spring under the shadow of war
Composing the Spring special for the new year in the past years was mostly along with hope, nature’s rebirth and the promise of renewal of life.

I registered for Konkour (university entrance exam), following the conclusion of high school. I was accepted into Tehran’s polytechnic (Amirkabir) university and began to study chemical and petrochemical engineering. There was a building named Jordan in the faculty in which religious students had prepared a small room as a house of prayer and did the noon and afternoon prayers in there.
