It consists of about 60 volumes of 40 authors (writers, poets, publicists, historians, linguists, ethnographs and other) that were martyred during the Armenian Genocide. Some of them being published in Western Armenian press had never been printed before in individual volumes. The works are endowed with brief and extensive biobibliologies.
