Dariush Shahbazi is an Iranian author and researcher whose work focuses on Tehran’s history, cultural heritage, and historical figures. Since completing his research on Mirza Taqi Khan Amir Kabir and his book History of Coins in the mid-1980s, Shahbazi has pursued a long-term project to compile and write a 20-volume series titled The Culture of Tehran’s History. The project documents the region’s natural features, historic buildings, cultural remains, and folk heritage, reflecting the lives of the communities that have inhabited the area over thousands of years.

Its scope spans the broad territory of greater Tehran, from the slopes of Mount Damavand to the plains beyond Karaj, and from the mountain districts of Oshan and Fasham to Varamin and Rey. Shahbazi’s multi-volume Leaves from Tehran’s History brings together articles and material drawn from this larger collection. His official website presents information about his books, articles, media coverage, and background, and features research on subjects including historic sites and notable people associated with Tehran
