The formation and development of oral history in Iran came to the fore due to the victory of the Islamic revolution and outbreak of war. Many oral history centers in Iran have been established focusing on these two issues, and most oral history interviews have been conducted about these two topics.

The questions of the present study are:What are the elements of a good editing in oral history.What are the different types of editing in oral history of the Islamic Revolution.What are the characteristics of editing in oral history of the Islamic Revolution.What are the ways of standardization of the editing method of oral history of the Islamic Revolution.The article's approach is analytical and critical. Attempts have been made to review the books written on the basis of oral history interviews in Iran to study the editing methodologies used in these books and find out their structural components. Moreover, by identifying the weak and strong points of these methods, some suggestions are made regarding the characteristics good editing in oral history to improve further studies. The findings of the research indicate that there are no specific standards in the field of compilation of oral history of Islamic Revolution, and personal tastes and organizational policies are the most important elements for compilation.

From the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 11, 1979 to the referendum and approval of the Constitution on December 3, 1979 was a period of nine months and twenty days. The four major political trends (Islamists, the Leftists and socialist, liberal nationalists, and the eclectics) tried in different ways, in the process of drafting and approval of the constitution to incorporate their political-intellectual demands into the text of the constitution. This paper is an attempt through "historical review" and "process tracing" to study the most important concerns of political trends in the process of drafting and approval of the constitution. The results of this study show that, the main concern of the contributing political trends in the process of approval of the constitution was the relationship between Islamic and republican aspects of the system. The text of the 1979 constitution stipulated a delicate balance between Islamism and Republicanism aspects. Islamic was stipulated in the content and republicanism in the form of the system.

The Pease Corps consisted of volunteer students and graduates of U.S. universities who worked abroad for a period of two years after three months of training. Training human force as well as promoting more understanding between Americans and other nations or, in other word, exporting American culture and lifestyle were of its goals.

The results indicate that the corps activities in Iran were parts of ideological competition between two superpowers during the Cold War. The Pease Corps were of U.S. public diplomacy instruments which served to educate and publicize of American culture in order to make it exemplar in friend countries.
