Study on galaxies registered
Benjamin Margaryan's Study on the Galaxies has been registered in the UNESCO Memory of the World International Register.
According to the MFA Department of Press, Information and Public Relations, this study replenishes the Memory of the World International Register with the second Armenian documental heritage after the Mesrop Mashtots Matenadaran presented in 1997.
Currently, the Memory of the World International Register includes 239 names of nearly 100 countries, including the chronology of the 13th century Radzivils describing the origin of Europeans, the 18th century Chinese imperial archives, the archives of the League of Nations in 1919-1946, the works by Beethoven, Brahms and Chopin, the works by Nikolay Copernicus and more. The appeal for Benjamin Margaryan's Study on the Galaxies was prepared by the Observatory in Byurakan, the UNESCO Armenian Commission and was presented to the UNESCO central station in 2010.
Let us remind that the UNESCO's Memory of the World International Register was inaugurated in 1992 with the purpose of preventing the disappearance of valuable collections of archives and libraries around the world. The program features the UNESCO Memory of the World International Register, which presents a list of documented heritage that includes documents, manuscripts, audiovisual materials and library archives and collections. They have been recognized as the embodimient of values of special significance and must be documented and preserved for all mankind.
