The Armenian department started work in 1960. 10 years later, with the help of Armenian authorities of the time and with the money provided by Galost Golbangian Charitable Organization, the so-called Armanology was built in the University of Isfahan. The building has 2 floors and is equipped with classes, offices, and a library with more than 4000 volumes of Armenian books as well as research journals. More than 450 students have graduated from this department a good number of whom are now working in different Armenian community institutions and governmental organizations.
