HRACHYA TAMRAZIAN BECOMES NEW DIRECTOR OF MATENADARAN
Hrachya Tamrazian, a researcher of Matenadaran Institute of Ancient Manuscripts and a Doctor of Philology, has been elected today new director of the biggest repository of old Armenian manuscripts.His only opponent was a colleague, a Doctor of Philology Erna-Manya Shirinian. Tamrazian was elected by members of the Matenadaran Council. He received 27 ballots of 34 members participating in the election, while Shirinian received only 6 ballots. Speaking to reporters after the election, Hrachya Tamrazian said one of his major tasks will be to attract younger specialists because the aging ones resign and there is little choice to replace them.
Hrachya Tamrazian endorsed also a surprise decision of the Institute in May to denounce an agreement with the Hill Museum and Manuscript Library (HMML) of Saint John College of Minnesota University, whereby the US-based HMML was to undertake to digitize about 14,000 Armenian language manuscripts and books and another 3,000 in other languages kept in Matenadaran. The modern technology, used by the HMML, was said to create high quality copies of the manuscripts, many of which are unique.
Tamrazian said the digitization should be carried out in Armenia and by local experts.
The collection in Yerevan, totaling almost 17,000 manuscripts, is by far the most extensive and richest repository for Armenian manuscripts in the world. These manuscripts are known for their outstanding illuminations, considered to be among the most beautiful ever created.
