Among the other important gatherings that accelerated the revolutionary movement of the people of Birjand and I [Hujjat al-Islam Sheikh Ismail Diyani] took the pulpit there, was the commemoration of the victims of the Tabas earthquake. This assembly was held by the students on the occasion of the death of two of their Birjandi classmates "in the Tabas earthquake" and they invited me to the pulpit. One of the police officers called me the night before and said angrily: "I heard you and Aiti are forcing people to riot against the king!" I said: "The people themselves want to fight, I am doing my duty. I am going to go to the pulpit in the Muhammadiyah Mosque tomorrow too! When he heard this sentence, he started swearing and said: "...if you go to the pulpit tomorrow, I will trample you!" Regardless of what he said, I participated in the mentioned assembly and went to the pulpit. An interesting point to note is that; on the sidelines of the main discussion, I explained the social and political situation of the society that day, and at the same time, no one attacked me. In this way, not only did no one cause disturbance, but after the establishment of the memorial assembly, (even though that ceremony had nothing to do with political events), it took on a political color and caused demonstrations. A large number of attendees marched the distance from Mohammadiyeh Mosque to Aiti Mosque, saying political and provocative statements.[1]

Oral History of 40 Years
One of the main hypotheses regarding the reason for the growth and expansion of oral history in the modern era relates to the fact that oral history is the best tool for addressing lesser-known topics of contemporary history. Topics that, particularly because little information is available about them, have received less attention.Omissions in the Editing of Oral History
After the completion of interview sessions, the original recordings are archived, the interviews are transcribed, proofread, and re-listened to. If the material possesses the qualities required for publication in the form of an article or a book, the editing process must begin. In general, understanding a verbatim transcription of an interview is often not straightforward and requires editing so that it may be transformed into a fluent, well-documented text that is easy to comprehend.100 Questions/8
We asked several researchers and activists in the field of oral history to express their views on oral history questions. The names of each participant are listed at the beginning of their answers, and the text of all answers will be published on this portal by the end of the week. The goal of this project is to open new doors to an issue and promote scientific discussions in the field of oral history.The Role of Objects in Oral Narrative
Philosophers refer to anything that exists—or possesses the potential to exist—as an object. This concept may manifest in material forms, abstract notions, and even human emotions and lived experiences. In other words, an object encompasses a vast spectrum of beings and phenomena, each endowed with particular attributes and characteristics, and apprehensible in diverse modalities.
