Hunchakian Party Newspaper Archives Available on the Web

The Armenian Studies Program at the University of Michigan announced
the web posting of the Hnchakian Party  central organization,
"Hnchak." on its website. The Social Democratic Hnchakian
(Hunchakian) Party was the first Armenian political organization that
became a national/international organization aiming at the liberation
of Ottoman Armenians. The central organ of the party was the "Hnchak,"
published in Geneva, where the party was founded in 1887. The
collection of "Hnchak" issues presented here covers the period
1887-1915, including the publications as "Hnchaks"s of rival factions
of the party in 1903. Few full collections remain.

The digitization and webposting of the "Hnchak" collection from the
National Library of Armenia has been made possible by the the Nor
Serount Cultural Association and the Social Democratic Hnchakian
Party/California.

For further information and to view the archives, please visit our
