Iranica is such an important achievement that it also deserves to go Online in our Internet Age of Global Access to information.
It would also make it a more reliable source than Wikipedia.
Best to you Prof.Yarshater for your Amazing and valuable contribution.
Thank you.

I enjoyed seeing pictures of some of the pioneers in Persian language. May they live to be over hundred years.
Contributers to Iranica !
by ebi amirhosseini on Tue May 06, 2008 07:47 PM PDTThere is no doubt that the work Prof.Yarshater has done for more than half a century for Iranian cultur,language is priceless & nobody can say otherwise .But,let's not forget that hundreds of academic individuals with expertise on Iranian studies, from around the world have dedicated their tiresome efforts in form of articles,notes &..... to Encyclopedia Iranica. During my graguate studies at Tehran university,faculty of Old Persian Culture & Languages,I had the honor of attending the classes of some of world renouned experts on Iranian studies & contributers to Iranica,specially Late Dr Taffazolli one of the greatest authorities on Pahlavi language,who was killed by the Aniraan( non-Irani) murderers during the Serial Killings in Iran. Hope the rest of them are still ok,since it is more than 15 years that I havenot had any news from them.Here are the names of some of them that I can remember:
1- Prof. Mohsen Abolghaasemi expert on: Avesta,Aasi & middle persian languages.
2-Prof. Zhaaleh Aamuzgar ( co-writer of many books with late Dr.Taffazzoli), expert on Pahlavi language & culture of Iran .
3- Prof. Ghareeb,expert on Old persian & Soghdi Languages.
4- Late Prof. Mehrdad Bahar ( son of Malekolshoaraa Bahar),expert on Pahlavi language & Iranian mythology.
5- Prof. kataayoon Mazdaapoor,expert on Pahlavi language.
And many others,who dedicate their time,talent & life to promote Iran through helping Iranica,although not Iranian,but they all love
the Iranian Languages & culture.
May god help them all.
Let's wish them all GOOD LUCK.
