THE PRESS COLLECTION OF THE MEKHITARIST LIBRARY IS NOW ONLINE
 
The Mekhitarist Congregation’s journal collection and its portal website are now 
live, featuring digitized Armenian press published between 1794 and 1920, in a 
free and accessible format. To date, the online library of the Mekhitarist press and its corresponding 
databases have been endowed with more than 400,000 pages of digitized Armenian 
newspapers and periodicals from the rich collection of the Mekhitarist Monastery 
of Vienna. The digitization of these materials and making them available to the 
public is made possible through the collaboration between the Mekhitarist 
Congregation, the Armenian Communities Department of the Calouste Gulbenkian 
Foundation and the Fundamental Scientific Library of the National Academy of 
Sciences of the Republic of Armenia. The portal website gives the reader and researcher access to the Mekhitarist 
Congregation digital library content via one address: an address that directs 
the visitor to all the digitized and indexed materials stored in the databases 
of the RA Fundamental Scientific Library. Digitization is continuous, and new 
materials will be added periodically as additional journals are digitized. Addressing the great and immediate need for accessibility, the goal of the 
collaboration is to make this great pan-Armenian wealth of knowledge and 
collective heritage available to all free of charge, ensuring its wide and easy 
accessibility. To read more about the project’s objectives and to access the digitized
