Operating since 1999, AUA Digital Library of Classical Armenian Literature has been established as a platform for the collection, digitization, preservation and presentation to worldwide audiences some of the enormous cultural wealth contained in the rich holdings of the Armenian national repositories all over the world.
The significance of the digital library goes beyond merely digitizing 2000 works of 625 authors. The main strength of the Armenian Digital Library is that it is a dramatically advanced method of collecting, storing and organizing information in a digital format.
This modern instrument was developed with the use of the most advanced technologies of the 21st century and will allow Armenologists to conduct their research in the most comprehensive and efficient manner. The digital library is not a logical extension of physical library, but it is a method of preserving historical Armenian Literature ranging from the 4th century to the 18th centuries. |
