Vahakn Dadrian's Digital Archive Is Now Available to Researchers

The archive of Professor Vahakn N. Dadrian (1926–2019), a leading researcher of the Armenian Genocide, is for the first time freely available to everyone through a digital platform powered by artificial intelligence. According to a statement by three organizations, the platform's "Ask Dadrian" feature makes it possible to put questions to the archive and find relevant documents. The collection includes more than 100,000 pages, hundreds of folders and more than 660 gigabytes of digitized material. The work took sixteen years: in 2009 Dadrian decided to entrust his personal archive to the Ararat-Eskijian Museum and Research Center, and the collection was moved from New York State to Los Angeles. Digitization was completed in December 2025, after which the online platform was created. The UCLA Armenian Genocide Research Program also took part in the project.
