Leo Barjesteh

Leonardus Alexander Ferydoun "Leo" Barjesteh van Waalwijk van Doorn (Rotterdam, 18 October 1962)[1] is a Dutch-Persian historian, publisher and museum director.

In 1988 Barjesteh established himself as an independent publisher, specialising in history, culture and genealogy.[2] He is also co-founder (2000) and since 2017 president of the International Qajar Studies Association and has been editor-in-chief of its journal (Qajar Studies) since the first issue in 2000.[3] Also in 2000, he was (together with Jan Bomans, lieutenant colonel Eppo Brongers and Ad Vermeulen) one of the initiators of the monument for Johan Willem Friso, Prince of Orange (1687-1711) at the Moerdijk.[4]

Genealogical projects

In 2007 together with Frans Plooij and Toon van Gestel he initiated the first large-scale genetic genealogy project in the Netherlands, the Project Genetische Genealogie in Nederland.[5][6] Over the years the project had 1,500 participants. The project focussed on the Y-chromosomal DNA and at that time was unique as it combined genetic profiles with pedigree lines going back centuries.[7][8] The first combined DNA-results and genealogies were published in Zonen van Adam in Nederland in 2008.[9][10][11]

The publication of the book Honderd Schiedamse Families in 2010[12] led to an accompanying exhibition: Rijkdom van de stad.[13] The exhibition inspired the foundation of a museum for family history.[14][15][16] After purchasing an old monastery in Eijsden, Limburg,[17] Barjesteh in 2013 founded the International Museum for Family History in the Ursulinenconvent.[18][19]

gollark: That doesn't actually help with *arranging them onscreen*.
gollark: No.
gollark: Also, Python libraries generally seem to be imperative stuff with a thin OOP veneer which makes it slightly more irritating to use.
gollark: ```Internet Protocols and Support webbrowser — Convenient Web-browser controller cgi — Common Gateway Interface support cgitb — Traceback manager for CGI scripts wsgiref — WSGI Utilities and Reference Implementation urllib — URL handling modules urllib.request — Extensible library for opening URLs urllib.response — Response classes used by urllib urllib.parse — Parse URLs into components urllib.error — Exception classes raised by urllib.request urllib.robotparser — Parser for robots.txt http — HTTP modules http.client — HTTP protocol client ftplib — FTP protocol client poplib — POP3 protocol client imaplib — IMAP4 protocol client nntplib — NNTP protocol client smtplib — SMTP protocol client smtpd — SMTP Server telnetlib — Telnet client uuid — UUID objects according to RFC 4122 socketserver — A framework for network servers http.server — HTTP servers http.cookies — HTTP state management http.cookiejar — Cookie handling for HTTP clients xmlrpc — XMLRPC server and client modules xmlrpc.client — XML-RPC client access xmlrpc.server — Basic XML-RPC servers ipaddress — IPv4/IPv6 manipulation library```Why is there, *specifically*, **in the standard library**, a traceback manager for CGI scripts?
gollark: ```Structured Markup Processing Tools html — HyperText Markup Language support html.parser — Simple HTML and XHTML parser html.entities — Definitions of HTML general entities XML Processing Modules xml.etree.ElementTree — The ElementTree XML API xml.dom — The Document Object Model API xml.dom.minidom — Minimal DOM implementation xml.dom.pulldom — Support for building partial DOM trees xml.sax — Support for SAX2 parsers xml.sax.handler — Base classes for SAX handlers xml.sax.saxutils — SAX Utilities xml.sax.xmlreader — Interface for XML parsers xml.parsers.expat — Fast XML parsing using Expat```... why.
