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.

Attack on Halabcheh narrated
With wet saliva, we are having the lunch which that loving Isfahani man gave us from the back of his van when he said goodbye in the city entrance. Adaspolo [lentils with rice] with yoghurt! We were just started having it when the plane dives, we go down and shelter behind the runnel, and a few moments later, when the plane raises up, we also raise our heads, and while eating, we see the high sides ...The Arab People Committee
Another event that happened in Khuzestan Province and I followed up was the Arab People Committee. One day, we were informed that the Arabs had set up a committee special for themselves. At that time, I had less information about the Arab People , but knew well that dividing the people into Arab and non-Arab was a harmful measure.Kak-e Khak
The book “Kak-e Khak” is the narration of Mohammad Reza Ahmadi (Haj Habib), a commander in Kurdistan fronts. It has been published by Sarv-e Sorkh Publications in 500 copies in spring of 1400 (2022) and in 574 pages. Fatemeh Ghanbari has edited the book and the interview was conducted with the cooperation of Hossein Zahmatkesh.Is oral history the words of people who have not been seen?
Some are of the view that oral history is useful because it is the words of people who have not been seen. It is meant by people who have not been seen, those who have not had any title or position. If we look at oral history from this point of view, it will be objected why the oral memories of famous people such as revolutionary leaders or war commanders are compiled.
