Creating an Islamic Republic: Iranian Collections from the Hoover Library and Archives

Among the Hoover Institution's Iranian collections are more than three hundred posters from this period. This exhibition traces the episodes leading up to the revolution, by way of later Islamic posters commemorating key events, and continues through the revolution's early days and the successful creation of an Islamic government. The Iran-Iraq war is also represented, as well as opposition posters, including those of the Mujahedeen Khalq.

In addition to the posters, the exhibit will feature rare publications documenting twentieth-century Iranian history, including the short-lived Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan.
