October 21, 2005: Armenianhouse.org Is Back!

[HOB]

Armenian Electronic Library is back online with even more free content. But why was it offline on the first place? First our web site became the target of a DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack along with number of other Armenian web sites, and then we were busy looking for a better protected web hosting provider while also struggling with number of technical and organizational issues. So what's new? Report on the American Red Cross relief expedition of 1896 to Asia Minor, which was headed by Clara Barton—the legendary founder of the American Red Cross Society is added to the Armenian Genocide section. Also added Vardananq— the notorious novel by Derenik Demirchyan in the Russian section of the library. And the last but not least: after 2 years of delays the text of Call of the Plowmen by Khachik Dashtents is now complete in the Armenian section of the library.

 

Currently we are working on:

1. Adding several new works in the Literary Cafe too, so visit it in a couple of weeks for more content;

2. "Treatment of Armenians in Ottoman Empire" by James Bryce;

3. "The History of Armenian Theater" (in Russian, 2 volumes) by George Goyan.

 

Also we are planning to update texts of informational pages (About us, F.A.Q., etc.)
