These dissertations are an invaluable resource for the study of various things Armenian, since they often represent pioneering efforts and have unearthed resources which open new vistas for increased understanding and open doors for further research. Unfortunately, not everyone who writes a master’s or doctoral dissertation is able to continue their academic investigation, and thus many dissertations have not been followed up by their authors and published in a form that can readily be accessed by the academic community or the general public. Your efforts will produce a new and valuable resource for the study of all things Armenian. Your initiative should be applauded and encouraged.
