THE PHOTOGRAPHIC COLLECTION OF THE NUBAR LIBRARY


 

The Nubar Library retains a large and diverse collection of photographs that continues to be enriched through private donations year after year.


The core of the photographic collection comprises more than 10,000 photographs produced from the 1890s to the 1940s. These range from images classified by geographical provenance, many from Ottoman provinces, to extensive collections of individual and group portraiture. A large body of photographic prints illustrates the history and activities of the AGBU in the Near East and elsewhere in the Armenian diaspora after the First World War and the early 20th century.

Location map of the photographic collections of the Nubar Library : Ottoman Empire and the Near East


This map provides access to the photographic collections of the Nubar Library. For educational purposes, we have chosen to show the limits of the former Ottoman Empire and its vilayets, but also those of present-day Armenia. The photographs cover not only the Ottoman period, but also the reconstruction of the Armenian communities in exile after the genocide and the First World War.

To access the photo galleries, click on the localities that appear in the list. The digitization of the collection is in process and will gradually be added to the page.
