ABSTRACT
The periodicals of Baku Armenians represent a relatively unexplored archive of the social, cultural, and literary memories of a community that no longer exists in Azerbaijan. In this article, the author provides a brief overview of the world of Armenian periodicals that existed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the Russian Empire. The Armenian National Library has digitized some of these periodicals and they are readily available to a variety of users. Librarians, historians, and digital humanities scholars can use this readily available corpus of texts for further analysis.

The first Azerbaijani-language newspaper was Hasan-bek Melikov-ZardabiIs Ekinji (Sower),’ which began publication in 1875. The language Melikov-Zardabi used in Ekinji was more or less copied by the rest of Azerbaijani’s Turkish-language press and became the medium for the discussion and dissemination of a broad spectrum of ideas current among the Muslim intellectuals of this period.”
