During the 1930s, the study of Iranian art and architecture was promoted intensively, and the widely held view that Iran has been the cultural centre of the Muslim world reached a climax. The pertinent events of the decade can hardly be understood without reference to Arthur Upham Pope (1881-1969) a pioneering American Expert on Persian/ Iranian art a professor of philosophy and aesthetics, archaeologist, political activist, museum director, and founder of an international scholarly organization. and Phyllis Ackerman- Pope and Ackerman (whom Pope eventually married ) were able to persuade some of the greatest authorities of the day to contribute the various chapters, 69 scholars among the John Allan, Prof. Jurgi Baltrusaitis, Stanley Casson, Dr. G. Contenau, R.S. Cooke, Dr. Neilson C. Debevoise, Cecil H. Desch, Rene Doussaud, Dr. Richard Ettinghausen, C.J. Gadd, Rene Grousset, Prof. Ernst Herzfeld, Kurt Erdmann, Samuel Flury, Andre Godard, C.J. Lamm, Losif Orbeli, Ernst Kuhnel, Louis Massignon and Ugo Monneret de Villiard and others.Some contributors, such as Robert Buron (1905 41) and Eric Schroeder (1904 71), conducted researches in Iran in the 1930s. while others such as Ettinghausen did not make the journey.
