Daniel Ohanian's Database of Armenian Orphans and Maids in Canada, 1923–1930

Ohanian, Daniel, 2025
Sara Corning Centre for Genocide Education (publisher); Microsoft Excel database; published 15 August 2025

An open database listing approximately 130 boys and 40 girls and women who came to Canada as humanitarian refugees between 1923 and 1930: the groups known variously as the Georgetown Boys, Georgetown Girls, Fegan's Boys, Salvation Army Boys and Newham Boys. Each entry includes leads pointing to where further information about the individual can be found. It is the prosopographical companion to his Genocide Studies International article on the same migration.

The Urartian Onomasticon: A Prosopographic Study

Grekyan, Yervand, 2024
ARAMAZD: Armenian Journal of Near Eastern Studies, Vol. 17, No. 2 (2024), pp. 1–44

Research on Urartian anthroponyms goes back to the turn of the nineteenth century, but scholars have concentrated almost entirely on royal and throne names, leaving ordinary personal names to scattered commentary. Grekyan attributes this partly to the limited Urartian linguistic corpus. He stresses that Urartu was a multiethnic state, deepened by large-scale deportations and planned resettlements; consequently not every name in Urartian inscriptions belongs to an Urartian, and not every Urartian bore a Hurro-Urartian name. The study assembles all available onomastic data connected to Urartu and presents it as a prosopography, widening the comparative base with second-millennium cuneiform and Hurrian material.

How this repository is built

What is in this repository?

Peer-reviewed and institutional scholarship on Armenian subjects — history, the Armenian Genocide, Artsakh, language and literature, the church, and the diaspora — in any language and from any country. Journal articles, books, book chapters, theses and institute publications are all in scope. Entries are chosen for what they contribute to an Armenian student's understanding, not for how recent or how famous they are.

What does 'verified' mean here?

It means a person opened the link and checked the record against the publisher's own page: the title, the authors, the venue, the volume and pages, and the identifier. The date of that check is shown on each entry's page. Where an entry has no date shown, no check has been logged for it yet, and the catalogue does not claim one.

What is the summary on each entry?

A short account of what the publication does, followed by notes on what it offers different readers — a student writing a term paper, an academic, someone reading for the community, someone new to the subject. They are meant to tell you what a piece is useful for, not only what it argues.

How do I suggest a publication, or report an error?

Use the 'Suggest a publication' link at the foot of the directory. The same address takes corrections — a broken link, a wrong page range, a misattributed author. Corrections are checked against the publisher's record before an entry changes.
