The Julfa Cemetery Digital Repatriation Project is hosted by The Australian Catholic University. Its primary goal is a virtual reconstruction of the ancient Armenian cemetery at Julfa, completely destroyed by Azeri troops in the first five years of this century. The project has been undertaken to restore dignity to the deceased inhabitants of Julfa Cemetery and ensure the public memory of Armenia’s cultural heritage. Further, we hope to safeguard an important testimony to early Christian history in the Near East. Our primary aims are five-fold: –to create an extensive archive of materials related to the cemetery and its monuments–photographs, documents and digital materials; –to create permanent virtual reality installations in Yerevan and Sydney (and any other city that wishes to have one); –to create a touring exhibition that can travel to cities without the resources to establish a permanent installation; –to create a vivid web presence, including online virtual reality exhibits, open to comment and contribution to everyone who may be interested; –to work in collaboration with other projects and individuals interested in the preservation and reconstruction of destroyed and endangered cultural heritage. The project, began in 2013, has made excellent progress in realising its first aim, and is working hard to develop the others.
