There are also a wide range of invaluable radio programs made during the 1950s, 60s and 70s (in which fabulous singers, musicians, writers, and poets often starred), which deserve to be collected and properly archived. Many of these programs shed a unique light on Persian cultural and literary history and life in Iran during this period. One may mention in this context programs such as Barnama-yi hemayat khanavada or Barnama-yi deghan, which discuss social issues relating to families and rural communities and workers; Dar gusha va kenar-i shahr, which broadcast interviews from schools, factories, prisons and orphanages, as well as other programs devoted to children and music will give brief descriptions of the extent, content and significance of each of these programs and discuss the challenges and importance of collecting and archiving them.\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Publisher"]},"value":{"en":["Association for Recorded Sound Collections"]}},{"label":{"en":["Rights Statement"]},"value":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eCopyright Association for Recorded Sound Collections\u003c/p\u003e"]}},{"label":{"en":["Video Editor"]},"value":{"en":["Nathan Georgitis (Video Editor)"]}}],"summary":{"en":["\u003cp\u003eIn this presentation I will highlight some of the challenges facing the archiving of recordings of the 20th-century performing arts of Iran.
