Abstract This collection of 7 English-lanugage documents contains specific data on the Lur peoples, including the Bakhtiari, Kahgalu, and Mamassani. The documents cover the time period from 9000 BC to 1997 AD, with an emphasis on the period from 1920-1994. Although the Lur are found mainly in three administrative districts of Iran - Lorestan (or Lurestan), Kohkiluyeh, and Bakhtiari - the focus of this collection is on the Lur of the Lorestan district. The cultural summary is based on the article "Lur" by Ronald Johnson in the Encyclopedia of World Cultures, Vol. 9, Africa and the Middle East, John Middleton and Amal Rassam, eds. 1995. It was revised and expanded with the addition of the synopsis and indexing notes by John Beierle in June, 2005.
