The Library for Iranian Studies: In recent years much has been published worldwide, in Persian and other languages, about Iran and Iranian issues. As well as notable novels, plays, poetry and literary criticism, these publications have included books, reports and papers on historical, political and social subjects.  In order to give Iranians living abroad access to these valuable resources and to help them keep up-to-date with current publications from Iran, it is necessary to establish libraries and centres for Iranian studies which can be used by the general public as well as for academic research. The resources available are of particular value to Iranians traveling from Iran who wish to be kept informed of current cultural and political issues both at home and abroad. The libraries and centres also provide an invaluable service for non-Iranian students of the Persian language and culture. http://www.iranianlibrary.org.uk/

The Institute of Ismaili Studies: The Institute of Ismaili Studies was established in 1977 with the object of promoting scholarship and learning of Muslim cultures and societies, historical as well as contemporary, and a better understanding of their relationship with other societies and faiths. The Institute’s programmes encourage a perspective that is not confined to the theological and religious heritage of Islam, but seeks to explore the relationship of religious ideas to broader dimensions of society and culture. The programmes thus encourage an interdisciplinary approach to the materials of Islamic history and thought. http://www.iis.ac.uk/home.asp?l=en
