AN EXTENSIVE DOCUMENTATION OF HISTORY:

ARMENIAN GENOCIDE BIBLIOGRAPHY
<http://www.centerar.org/bibliography/>

A newly published bibliography covering literary publications on the
Armenian Genocide will now serve as a key to the multitude of works
written on this important chapter in history.

Bibliographer Eddie Yeghiayan, Ph.D., has gathered a vast and
extensive library of material on the Armenian Genocide, providing
copious notes and details on the major works that have dealt with the
destruction of the Armenians during World War I. In the “Armenian
Genocide Bibliography,” Yeghiayan has arranged a library of
information to help us gain a better grasp of the thousands of
publications covering the genocide.

Of course, any bibliography that aspires to furnish an exhaustive
collection of literature on so broad a topic as the Armenian Genocide
will always fall just short of completeness. The voluminous
documentation that exists on the systematic extermination of the
Armenians during the First World War ranges from contemporary
articles published in newspapers and journals worldwide, in the
reports, correspondence, diaries, and memoirs of military men and
statesmen, the eyewitness testimony of survivors, missionaries,
relief officials, and officials in the diplomatic corps, to material
from the archives of the United States, Europe, and the Near East, to
say nothing about the numerous studies published in the realm of
academia. Looking past the problems inherent in so daunting an
enterprise, it is nonetheless surprising that no dedicated
bibliography on the Armenian Genocide has appeared since Richard G.
Hovannisian’s /The Armenian Holocaust/: /A Bibliography Relating to
the Deportations, Massacres, and Dispersion of the Armenian People,
1915-1923 /in 1980. It was in order to fill this gap, to provide to
the scholar and the layman alike a clear and accessible work of
reference that Dr. Eddie Yeghiayan of the University of California,
Irvine undertook the painstaking process of compiling a comprehensive
bibliography on the Armenian Genocide. The descendant of survivors of
the massacres and deportations, Yeghiayan has not only drawn from
scholarly books, articles, and print media, but has also produced
lists of works published in the fields of the arts and literature, as
well as in the medium of television, documentaries, and the Internet.
At over a thousand pages long and the product of five years’ of
research, he has collated a vast and diverse array of material and
presented it to the reader in a cogent and gracefully organized
format. /The Armenian Genocide: A Bibliography/ will prove to be the
definitive work for reference and consultation for a new generation
of scholars and individuals keen on learning about the first major
humanitarian crisis of the twentieth century.

The Center for Armenian Remembrance is proud to bring the first of
its kind digital archive of this vast collection of publications. The
bibliography is available to the public and fully searchable at
