Geschiedenis
The Persia Society was founded in 1911 but wound up in 1929. Its successor, the Iran Society, came into being in 1935. Between them, these two societies have spanned most of the twentieth century and a variety of phases in Anglo-Iranian relations. The aims are to bring together those interested in Iran's history and culture by means of lectures and occasional publications, to spread knowledge and understanding of Persian culture in the UK and thus to contribute to Anglo-Iranian understanding and friendship.
