26 manuscripts from private collections are fully digitized, with cataloging data accessible through HMML’s Reading Room (project code AMKS). The collection primarily includes Hmayil (Armenian prayer scrolls) and illuminated Gospels, artifacts that serve as a medium in the homes of the faithful for veneration, healing, and miracles. This special collection was digitized by Dr. Konrad Siekierski, head of the "Home Saints" research project, funded by the National Association for Armenian Studies and Research and the Knights of Vardan Fund for Armenian Studies, 2022. His project seeks to answer questions about the historical development, cultural forms, and social functions of "home saints," which are religious manuscripts and early printed codices and scrolls that reside in Armenian private shrines or houses. The project examines objects in present-day Armenia and Georgia. Some images are fully accessible for online viewing, and others are preserved and available for on-site research at HMML but not accessible online, per the wishes of the owners. View now
