Kharazmi Publishing House was established in 1347 with the cooperation of several prominent cultural figures as a joint stock company. The managing director of these publications from 1347 to 1386 was Alireza Heidari.
Kharazmi Publishing House was closed to the brink of closure in 1973 due to disputes between its shareholders. But with the intervention of Abdul Rahim Jafari, the founder of Amirkabir Publishing, who bought a stake in Kharazmi Publishing that year, he was able to survive.
After the revolution, in 1983, all of Abdul Rahim Jafari’s assets were confiscated in favor of the Islamic Propagation Organization during the early seizures of the revolution, including Kharazmi and Amirkabir Publications. Jafari says all his efforts to retrieve the confiscated publications have gone unanswered for several years.
Alireza Heidari died in 2007 due to cardiac arrest.
