About this record
- Content
Correspondence relating to changes within the Persian Government: the appointment and dismissal of ministers by the Shah of Persia (Reza Shah Pahlavi); the resignation or death during duty of ministers; the reorganisation of governmental departments (both central and provincial) at the instigation of the Shah.
Items of note in the file include:
- A text containing a number of articles concerning changes to addresses and titles in the Persian royal and government hierarchy. The text is undated and with no indication of author, but is presumably a translation from the French or Persian and dates to around 1935, being part of the Shah’s programme of modernisation of Persian society (ff 102-103).
- A translation of regulations relating to the reorganisation of the Persian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (ff 80-89).
The correspondence is chiefly sent by various officials at the British Legation in Tehran (Robert Henry Clive, Reginald Hervey Hoare, Hughe Montgomery Knatchbull-Hugessen, Victor Alexander Louis Mallet, Nevile Montagu Butler, Horace James Seymour). A small number of items in the file are in French.
