Ararat Monthly and Արարատ ամսաթերթ were newsletters published by the Georgetown Boys, Armenian Genocide orphans brought to Canada from 1923, and their teacher Aris Alexanian, who used them to practise English and Armenian, share artwork and stories, report on life at their orphanage-farm, and stay connected with Armenians worldwide. At their peak they had 2,000 subscribers in more than thirty countries, releasing 15 English and at least 30 Armenian issues between 1926 and 1929. The volume marks the centennial of the initiative and gathers the dispersed remnants of the newsletters, assembled over a decade from families, libraries and archives in Canada, Armenia, Austria, France and the United States. Recovering 45 issues where only about 30 had been known.
