A NEWLY PUBLISHED BIBLIOGRAPHY ON ARMENIAN GENOCIDE IS AVAILABLE ONLINE
http://times.am/?l=0&p=10739
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, Center for Armenian
Remembrance informs about this.
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 an! d consul tation
for a new generation of scholars and individuals keen on learning
about the first major humanitarian crisis of the twentieth century.
