The works included in Digital Library are chosen in compliance with the current academic standards of modern Armenian Studies. Bibliographical materials about the original documents, as well as later date editions are attached to each article inside. The Digital Library contains the best translations into modern Armenian, Russian, English, German, French, Italian, and other languages. The library consists of four major sections: 1. 5th to 18th Centuries Classical Armenian Literature, 2. 1850-2000 Western and Diaspora Literature, 3. Armenian Martyr Authors of Genocide period, 4. Armenian Studies.
