Return of Armenian print heritage: The “Vernatun” project of the National Academy of Sciences of Armenia

Tigran Zargaryan, head of the National Academy of Sciences’ Fundamental Scientific Library, discusses the “Repatriation” project. Focusing on preserving Armenian cultural heritage, the library uses “digital repatriation” to create high-quality digital copies of rare materials from diaspora communities. Initiatives include the “Adopt a book” campaign and collaboration with Turkish librarians, resulting in the discovery of new Armenian names and ancient books. Future plans include ongoing projects with Turkey, launching a supercomputer center, and training activities with Armenian libraries, aiming to enhance material accessibility and preservation.
