3 IRAN STATISTICAL YEARBOOK CULTURE AND TOURISM Introduction T his chapter presents statistical information on radio and television programmes, press, books and public libraries, cinemas, museums, monuments, tourists arrived and pilgrims. Following paragraphs summarize the history of data collection in these areas. Regular data compilation on radio and television programmes and museums began in 1345 and 1347 respectively. The earliest data on movies available in the SCI date back to They were produced by the Culture and Art Ministry, renamed the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Comprehensive data collection on the press was first accomplished by the SCI under the title of "Review of the country s publications survey" in At present, the Domestic Press Department of the Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance is in charge of the task. Data production and presentation on libraries of the country started in 1344, and the Centre for Intellectual Development of Children and Young Adults began to register and present figures related to the Centre's activities upon its establishment in the same year. The establishment of the National Iranian Tourist Organization in 1342 was the starting point of data production on tourism. However, the Organization took advantage of existing records in the archives of such government organizations as offices of Customs Administration and Passport and other related resources to collect information for the years 1331 to 1342, included in the 1345 statistical yearbook for the first time. Regarding the presented data, the following points should be taken into consideration: Although statistical information on cultural issues is much diversified, the data presented here is limited to certain aspects because of unavailability or lack of data on other areas. Data on the number of visitors to museums and historical monuments, however, were collected till the end of 1382 by the General Department of Museums affiliated to the Cultural Heritage Organization covering some of the museums and historical monuments. Since that time, due to merging of Cultural Heritage Organization and Iran Touring and Tourism Organization into a newly established organization called ''Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization", the related data have been provided by the new organization. Data on pilgrims include only those dispatched by Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization.
