Ernst Herzfeld Papers

1903-1947

https://sova.si.edu/record/FSA.A.06

The Papers primarly relate to Herzfeld's work in Western Asia between 1903 and 1947, chiefly in Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and Syria, and particularly to his excavations at Samarra, Pasargadae, and Persepolis, and also in Sistan. Much of the research material he accumulated during this time was used in preparation for his nearly two hundred books, articles, and lectures.
