Purpose: This paper reports Iran-Ottoman disputes over the region of Baghsaee, owned by Iran since the Safavid time, and its final anexion to the Ottoman Empire in 1914. Methodology and Research Design: Archival records and library resources were examined for gathering data. Findings and Conclusion: Security concerns of the Ottomans were due to the proximity of Baghsaee city to the central Mesopotamia cities and the Tigris river. Also, supply of irrigation water flow from Iran to downstream areas of Konjancham and Changooleh was a major concern for the Ottomans. Prologed border disputes resulted in a sense of insecurity among the population and led to widespread immigration from Poshtkooh to the Ottoman territory. Evantually according to the 1914 treaty an area of 7 to 20 km width and more than 200 kilometers length including the city of Baghsae was transferred to the Ottomans.

Purpose: The mid-western region of Eraagh in Iran now: Ostaan-e Markazi) experienced an extraordinary short period of the governance of Mustafa Gholikhan Farrashbashi, a pioneer reformist. This paper discusses his initiatives and the reasons for his quick dismissal. Method and Research Design: Data was gathered from archival and library resources. Findings and Conclusion: Farrashbashi actively launched a number of reforms, including setting up a bureau of investigation to facilitate judicial processes, reconstruction of water supply system of the city, supply of irrigation water for rural areas, controlling agricultural products prices, return the ownership of lands to farmers, resolution of local disputes and prosecuting criminals. However, he was unexpectedly dismissed by Prince Zell-e Soltan and his property was confiscated. Apart from the greed of the Prince, dismissal of Farrashbashi is attributed to the increase of his popularity among the people of the region, and his failure to collect taxes to the level that Zell-e Soltan expected, as well as conspiracy by influencial figures in the region.

Purpose: This paper reports the Baluch population of Iran resistance to the law of national identity card in the 1930s. Method and Research Design: Data for this research eas collected fromarchival and library resources as well as interview with informants.

Many migrated to India, Zanzibar and Oman, and some fled to the mountains and remote areas in the region.

Purpose: This study addresses the problem of using synthetic adhesives for paper restoration. It suggests the use of traditional adhesives instead. The paper discusses the wide range of the use of serish (eremurus paste) in Iran, including for applying on paper. The study provides methods to increase the viscosity and viscidity of serish. method and Research design: Tradional methods of extraction include enzyme stabilization, and polysaccharide extraction were applied separately as well as simultaneously on fresh serish roots and serish powder. Then the quality of produced samples was examined. Boiling 70% Ethanol was applied to stabilized enzyme and sticky polysaccharides were extracted using 96% Ethanol. Extracted polysaccharides were dried using freeze drying method. Then, 2% solutions of these adhesives were prepared. The viscometry, UV-Vis spectroscopy and pH metery were examined on the produced adhesives several times and was compared to the traditional serish paste. Findings and Conclusion: Stabilizing methods were effective as the viscosity and viscidity of the extracted adhesives increased. However, the extraction process using just Ethanol was not effective enough. Extracting polysaccharides after stabilizing enzymes led to the best result, as not only the viscidity and viscosity tured to be at the highest level, but the pH and brightness of adhesive increased.

Purpose: Answers the question whether the reform in the justice system changed the relation between the two types of courts, or changed the overall judiciary system.

Purpose: This study examines archival literacy among the users of archives in Tehran. Method and Research Design: 80 users completed a researcher designed questionnaire the components of which were extracted from the literature. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0. 881 using Cronbach's alpha. The SPSS 21 statistical software was employed for data analysis. Findings and conclusion: The state of literacy among users was relatively well-suited. Knowledge, evaluative and analysis skills, knowledge of rules and regulations, locating skills, and the level of originality were desirable. However, knowledge of the role of archivists and advanced skills were low. Also, a direct relationship was noticed between archival literacy and academic background and the length of use, whereas no relation was seen between the level of library literacy and academic background.
