'''Malek National Library and Museum'''
The library contains over 70,000 books and many catalogs and periodicals, some of which may be of genealogical value. The library also includes catalogs for Iranian libraries in other institutions and archives in Europe and Turkey. There is also a catalog for Arabic and Ottoman materials. Hours vary widely, so call in advance, arrive early, and plan to stay the whole day. Researchers who want to view a manuscript or reproduce something will need to bring their passport and an introduction letter from their university.
