In 2024, we started digitising the Armenian newspaper archive preserved at the Samuelian Bookstore in Paris.
While reading newspapers published by Armenians in France, we came across many addresses: associations, businesses, offices. So we dediced to create a map of Paris that traces these places over time.

Today, we open a new chapter for the Samuelian Bookstore project!
We are heading to the BnF DataLab (BNF) with the Armenian newspapers to develop an AI model designed to study advertisements and map out Armenian shops in 20th-century Paris.

This project is a collaboration with the BNF, EPITA: Ecole d'Ingénieurs en Informatique (ANR project "DECIDON"), Institut national des langues et civilisations orientales (Inalco) (ANR project "DALiH"), and the National Library of Armenia. It was initiated with the support of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the Samuelian family.

Opening the Ottoman Archive

You want to do granular research on the Ottoman Empire and its successor states, but don't read Ottoman Turkish. Do you throw up you hands or look for a new set of powerful tools?

I found => ‘Birth certificate Author’s Paternal Grandmother, Arusiak Adamyants born on April 24, 1904 in Shushi. The text is bilingual with Russian on the left. This is an good example of developed writing culture present in Artsakh at the turn of the 20th century as it is executed by an anonymous clerk in the Municipality of Shushi (then part of the Russian Empire).

=============================

The Krikor Guerguerian Archive consists of documents collected by Guerguerian throughout his life, starting from the 1930s until his death in 1988. Despite scholars’ prior awareness of the Archive’s existence, almost nobody had ever utilized it. The primary reason for this is that the Archive had never been sorted, catalogued and classified. The materials within the Archive were in a state of utter disarray were lacking in a systematized structure.

OTTOMAN MATERIALS (ARCHIVE 1)

The majority of the documents pertain to the trials, from 1919-1921, against the Committee of Union and Progress members and perpetrators of genocide. The original documents of these materials are either lost or being held in secret by the Turkish government. A second portion of the Ottoman documents was taken from the Boghos Nubar Pasha Library in Paris, including the documents containing the Memoirs of the Ottoman bureaucrat named Naim Efendi and the Talat Pasha telegraphs.
