The Armenian Institute Library contains over 7000 volumes - many of them rare - in Armenian, Georgian, Ottoman Turkish, and most European Languages. Until now, it has not been easy for researchers to discover these valuable resources.
WorldCat is the world's largest bibliographic database and indexes the catalogues of over 15,600 libraries in 107 countries. You can search the database at https://www.worldcat.org/
With the help of OCLC, which operates WorldCat, the team at the Armenian Institute has been working to convert our catalogue to the appropriate standards to be imported into the WorldCat database.
This will enable researchers exploring WorldCat to discover resources in the Armenian Institute Library that they might never have known about otherwise.
Your kind donations to our library fundraiser have helped pay for our team and OCLC to do this valuable work, and for the first year of the software subscription that will enable us to maintain the catalogue.
We are looking forward to being able to share the news of our catalogue being searchable very soon. We will continue to look for ways to improve the library and to help researchers discover our collections.
