Periodicals

The ARC houses collections of issues from more than 600 periodical series predominantly in the Armenian language, but also in English and other languages published by Armenian organizations.

The ARC periodical collection includes academic journals, almanacs, magazines, daily and weekly newspapers, newsletters and bulletins published by Armenian institutions, organizations and publishers in and outside the United States.

Copies of periodicals published by non-Armenian institutions and organizations on subjects relevant to Armenians are also available in our collection. Some examples of this latter category are Diaspora: A Journal of Transnational Studies, Journal of Genocide Research, Genocide Studies and Prevention, International Journal of Middle East Studies, Turkologischer Anzeiger, published by the Institut für Orientalistik der Universität Wein, Information Bulletin, published by the Embassy of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Droša (Drosha), a publication of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Georgia, the Caucasus Context, a publication of the World Security Institute.
