OFFICE ESTABLISHED IN ANTELIAS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF ARMENIAN MEDIA
ARCHIVES CONTINUES ITS WORK
The department for the preservation of Armenian media archives established
under the auspices of His Holiness Aram I as part of the Catholicosate of
Cilicia’s Armeonology projects continues its active work in Antelias.
Established six months ago, the department operated parallel to a committee
of five appointed by His Holiness: V.Rev. Krikor Chiftjian, Yervant
Pamboukian, Jirayr Tanielian, Shahan Kandaharian and Aharon Shekherdemian.
The committee held its regular meeting on June 20 in the presence of the
department’s benefactor, Mr. Gabriel Tchemberdjian. The department’s task to
digitalize the Armenian Press published particularly in the Middle East aims
at preserving the press and facilitating the work of those interesting in
researching it.
The department’s work will make Armenian press clippings available to the
public along with a search engine for finding articles by authors or other
details. Parallel to the department’s work, the Diocese of Aleppo is
involved in scanning the local Armenian press in order to facilitate the
huge task at hand. This project also is sponsored by Mr. Gabriel
Tchemberdjian.
