Join us for the opening celebration of the Azad and Margaret Hogikyan Armenian Studies Collection, which features more than 480 titles. The collection was donated in loving memory by their sons: Robert, Edward, John and Norman.

Norman Hogikyan will give opening remarks, followed by a lecture, “A World in a Collection of Books,” by Gerard Libaridian, Alex Manoogian Chair in Modern Armenian History (2001-12) and former director of U-M’s Armenian Studies Program. He will focus on the collection, both as it reflects the choices that its owners, Azad and Margaret Hogikyan, made, and how it stands in the context of Armenian Studies, in general.

Light refreshments will be provided.

This event is sponsored by the University Library and Armenian Studies Program.
