Description & Rationale

This proposal is for microfilming of Azdak from 1 January 2018 through 31st December 2019 (a total of approximate 626 issues). Not issued on Sundays.

Reasons for consideration:

The "Azdak" daily newspaper has been continuously published since 1927. It is primarily dedicated to Armenian literature and news in Diaspora worldwide. Although it is available online, the PDF issues are available only for two days along the moving wall principles. LC New Delhi used microfilm Aztag but based on my search in the LC catalog; I could not locate current microfilmed issues. Upon checking with LC New Delhi through the LC liaison at UC Berkeley, we cannot purchase the microfilms of these issues for our collections. The online page is constantly updated (www.aztagdaily.com). I checked the Wayback machine to see if it was archived, but for 2018 and 2019, only the webpage of Aztag for certain days was archived.
