Iranian National Bahá'í Archives (INBA)

About: The Iran National Bahá'í Archives (INBA) volumes were compiled a few years before the Islamic revolution in Iran by the Bahá'í National Spiritual Assembly, circa 1976-1978. About 50 sets were distributed as photocopies to Bahá'í scholars and Bahá'í archives primarily in the West. The INBA volumes are copies of Bahá'í manuscripts which were mainly physically located in the Tehran Bahá'í Archives.

There are in fact two different sets of photocopied manuscripts from the Iranian National Bahá'í Archives. The first is a set of over 100 volumes; 50 or more sets were made and distributed to various institutions and individuals. The proper name of this set as set out in them is Intishárát Lajnih-yi Millí-yi Mahfazih-yi Áthár va Árshív-i Amr.

There are some volumes from the same archives of both scripture and histories which were not made part of the distributed set and copies of these were made on an ad hoc basis. On some of them, there is a stamp that says Kitábkhánih-yi Mahfazih-yi Millí-yi Áthár-i Amrí-yi Írán.
