The Armenian museum of ancient manuscripts, Matenadaran, and Hill
museum-manuscript library of U.S. state of Minnesota, signed a
memorandum of intention on April 13 which supposes digitalization of
Matenadaran manuscripts. The parties will sign 3 contracts, on funding,
technical matters and rules and regulations of digitalization copies,
in 5 months.
"Do not think that Matenadaran desperately links itself to Hill
proposal.
Matenadaran desperately attaches itself to digitalization of
manuscripts so that our values be saved," Arshak Banuchyan, deputy
director of the museum, said. Museum Director Sen Arevshatyan assessed
Hill as "serious and solid" partner. In any case, Matenadaran may
think about other proposals in case there are any in the course of
those 5 months.
