“…The Matenadaran houses a collection of medieval manuscripts containing patristic and other Armenian translations (5th century) from Greek or Syriac, the originals of which have disappeared: they include Six hundred questions and answers about the Book of Genesis by Philo of Alexandria, works by Hermes Trismegistos or Basil of Cesarea and even the Chronicon by Eusebius of Cesarea which is a vital source for the history of the first three centuries of Christianity…”

“ The vision of the Memory of the World Programme is that the world's documentary heritage belongs to all, should be fully preserved and protected for all and, with due recognition of cultural mores and practicalities, should be permanently accessible to all without hindrance.
” ~~~
“ Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.
”
“ The documentary heritage nominated must be finite and precisely defined; broad, general or open-ended nominations will not be accepted…Once added to the Memory of the World Register, the document group cannot be varied or redefined over time.
”
But….
Re-use is the culture of the internet. What does heritage mean for culture if it must stay fixed?
