Digitizing Surmelian
In 2020, the Armenian Institute republished I Ask You, Ladies and Gentlemen by Leon Surmelian. This is the story of how I got involved in digitising it.
I Ask You, Ladies and Gentlemen, by Leon Surmelian was a bestseller when it was published in 1945, but for some reason it went out of print and was never republished. As it is such a beautiful book, at the Armenian Institute, we recently republished it. In order to do so, I had my first serious experience of digitizing a book via scanning and OCR.
I wrote a short article about that experience of Digitizing Surmelian.
If you would like to buy a copy of the book, there are a few options. Some are better than others, depending on where you live.
- Armenian Institute store
- Amazon Kindle
- Abril Books (Los Angeles)
- National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (NAASR) (Massachusetts)
