Through its new project, “Hantes,” the Yesayan Association aims to digitize and make publicly accessible the history of Armenian cultural life in Constantinople from 1923 to 2023. The project will include at least 200 events, including concerts, theatrical performances, dance performances, and exhibitions.

The work will be based on the press, private collections, archival materials, and oral histories, creating an open digital repository of Armenian cultural heritage. The project’s first meeting and workshop is scheduled for October 1, with the participation of Leontien Talboom, a specialist from the University of Cambridge Libraries.
