Armenia's physics research legacy saved through pixels (French Edition)

More than 1000 destroyed research papers on high-energy physics and astrophysics have been recovered in Armenia thanks to digital copies saved at the IAEA's International Nuclear Information System (INIS). For over 25 years, thousands of research papers held by the library of the inadequately-funded Yerevan Physics Institute (YerPhI) were locked away in dusty storage rooms. They had become so dirty that it was impossible for them to be cleaned without causing damage. In May 2016, after YerPhI was granted the status of National Laboratory, its management asked the IAEA for help to reconstruct the old archives. IAEA staff provided YerPhI with the research papers in digital form and helped them to set up a digital scientific repository. Through the repository, the team has made all the recovered research papers available online at ivenio.yerphi.am.
