[EN] The Armenian Ark: Evidence of the Armenian People's Emigration to North America in the 1930s
The source is a database with various queries and detailed filters searching for information about a person: by name, place of birth or death, place of residence and residence address, and more.
For example, there is a dataset with information about the personal information of passengers and the ships on which they arrived. https://markarslan.org/ArmenianImmigrants/ShipManifests.csv.

[EN, AM ↓] 3D Models preserving Armenian cultural heritage
We continue introducing our team’s findings to you. Today’s highlights are the two sources with three-dimensional models of Armenian cultural sites. Such reconstructions are a wild-card when dealing with objects that are unavailable either due to their far-away location or imminent threat of destruction, especially in the post-war periods. 3D models allow us to monitor their state and disseminate cultural knowledge. Sometimes we have to preserve the digital images of fragile buildings or those already demolished, which will enable generations to come to restore their initial appearance as a 100% precise extract.
The first one is a catalogue by 3Bee.io which already contains almost 20 models that can also be viewed in Virtual Reality. The implementers of the project capture the data at the highest possible resolutions and archive them in raw formats so that it can be re-processed in future.
The second one is fulfilled by the Research on Armenian Architecture team and displays 3D videoclips and images of locations in Ani and Khtzkonk (Western Armenia).
Overall, much more work on these is needed to digitalize Armenia’s cultural heritage. However, file-format support and longevity are major considerations for digital preservation, and the field is yet to develop its best practices. As for now, .PLY (polygon file) and .OBJ (object file) are deemed more appropriate as they are widely supported and compatible across platforms [1].
