Hi Haleb: Mapping Armenian owned shops in Tilel street in Aleppo
We will be introduced to an archival project belonging to and about the Armenian community in Syria, by focusing on Armenian owned shops in Tilel street in Aleppo to apprehend the migration of the Armenian community post 1915 Genocide. The presenter will talk to us about the process of digitization and digital mapping, the different tools used, and the challenges faced when trying to archive digitally what is only available (and understood) physically and offline.
