About this Collection | Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Tajikistan Government Web Archive | Digital Collections | Library of Congress
This collection consists of official government websites for Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Tajikistan and provides an overview of the political, economic, administrative and social situation in these four countries. Several of these governmental websites contain information in English, Urdu, Persian (Farsi and Dari dialects), Pashto, Tajik and Russian languages. The depth of information is best for the Urdu, Persian, Pashto and Tajik languages, so pages in all four of these languages have been harvested. Through this archive collection, researchers can track the development and evolution of important political positions, related publications and changes in government agencies and the quasi-governmental organizations (universities, cultural institutions, museums, etc.) that together comprise the current governments of these four countries.
