The soonest specify of the term matenadaran, which signifies "vault of compositions" in Armenian, was recorded in the works of the fifth century A.D. student of history Ghazar Parpetsi, who noticed the presence of such a store at Etchmiadzin Cathedral, where Greek and Armenian dialect writings were kept. From that point onward, in any case, the sources remain to a great extent quiet on its status.
A large number of original copies in Armenia were devastated through the span of the tenth to fifteenth hundreds of years amid the Turkic-Mongol attacks. As indicated by the medieval Armenian history specialist Stepanos Orbelian, the Seljuk Turks were in charge of the consuming of more than 10,000 Armenian original copies in Baghaberd in 1170. In 1441, the matenadaran in Sis, the capital of the previous Cilician Kingdom of Armenia, was moved to Etchmiadzin and other close-by cloisters. Because of Armenia being a consistent battleground between two noteworthy forces, the Matenadaran in Etchmiadzin was looted a few times, the remainder of which occurred in 1804.
Eastern Armenia's joining into the Russian Empire in the main third of the nineteenth century gave a more steady atmosphere to the safeguarding of the rest of the original copies. In this manner, "another time begun for the Etchmiadzin Matenadaran. The Armenian social laborers obtained new original copies and place them all together with more certainty." Whereas in 1828 the custodians of the Matenadaran recorded an accumulation of just 1,809 compositions, in 1914 the gathering had expanded to 4,660 compositions. At the flare-up of World War I, every one of the compositions were sent to Moscow for protection and were kept there for the span of the war.
On December 17, 1920, the gathering of books and original copies held at the home office of the Armenian Apostolic Church at Etchmiatzin was appropriated by the Bolsheviks. In a pronouncement issued by Alexander Miasnikyan on March 6, 1922, the compositions that had been sent to Moscow were to be come back to Armenia. Joined with different accumulations, they were proclaimed a property of the state on December 17, 1929. In 1939, the accumulation was moved to Yerevan and put away at the Alexander Miasnikyan State Library. At long last, on March 3, 1959, the Council of Ministers of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic voted in help of the foundation of a storehouse to keep up and house the original copies in another building, which was named after Saint Mesrop Mashtots, the maker of the Armenian letters in order, in 1962. In 1954, Armenian academician Levon Khachikyan was selected as the Matenadaran's chief.
The Matenadaran was outlined by modeler Mark Grigoryan. Found marginally north of the downtown area's at the foot of a little slope, development started in 1945 and finished in 1957. The outside was developed of basalt yet parts of the inside were made of different materials, for example, marble. In the 1960s, the statues of recorded Armenian researchers, Toros Roslin, Grigor Tatevatsi, Anania Shirakatsi, Movses Khorenatsi, Mkhitar Gosh and Frik, were raised on the left and right wings of the building's outside. The statues of Mesrop Mashots and his student are situated beneath the patio where the primary building stands.
On May 14, 2009, upon the fiftieth commemoration of the establishing of the Matenadaran, Armenian state and religious authorities led the earth shattering service of the development of an examination foundation being fabricated adjoining the Matenadaran.The development was done in 2011 by modeler Arthur Meschian, who had begun chipping away at the outline of the new working toward the finish of the 1980s.
The Matenadaran's primary destinations are above all else the 1) protection, rebuilding, and propagation of the original copies; 2) their acquisition; 3) the association and recording of Armenian compositions; and 4) the dissemination and production of especially verifiably noteworthy Armenian original copies in dialects asides from Armenian. In 1941, it started distributing its official periodical, Banber Matenadarani (The Matenadaran Herald) which are went with Russian and French digests.
The Matenadaran is in control of a gathering of about 17,000 original copies and 30,000 different archives which cover a wide exhibit of subjects, for example, historiography, geology, theory, language structure, workmanship history, medication and science. In the principal many years of Soviet govern, its accumulation was to a great extent drawn from original copies put away in religious structures in the memorable locales of Vaspurakan (eastern Turkey, Van district) and Taron (Northeastern Turkey), in schools, cloisters and chapels in Armenia and whatever remains of the Soviet Union, (for example, those situated in New Nakhichevan and the Nersisyan Seminary in Tbilisi), the Lazarev Institute of Oriental Languages in Moscow, from the Armenian Apostolic Church's Primacy in Tabriz, the town of Darashamb in Iran, and in addition the individual accumulations given by private benefactors. Notwithstanding the Matenadaran's Armenian original copies, there is a huge gathering of verifiable archives numbering more than 2,000 in dialects, for example, Arabic, Persian, Hebrew, Japanese and Russian. The Mashtots Matenadaran Ancient Manuscripts Collection was recorded on UNESCO's Memory of the World Program Register in 1997 in acknowledgment of its reality hugeness.
The Armenian accumulation is likewise made out of 2,500 Armenian lit up original copies, which incorporate such conspicuous cases as the Echmiadzin Gospel (989) and the Mugni Gospels (1060). Another conspicuous original copy in the gathering is the Homilies of Mush, written in the years 1200-1202 A.D. in the Avak Monastery in Yerzenka (cutting edge Erzincan, Turkey), which measures 55.3 cm by 70.5 cm (21.8 creeps by 27.8 inches), weighs 27.5 kg (60.6 lbs.), and contains 603 calf skin material pages. The book was found by two Armenian ladies in a betrayed Armenian religious community in the Ottoman Empire amid World War I and the Armenian Genocide time frame. Since it was observed to be too substantial to be conveyed, it was part into two: one half was wrapped in a fabric and covered, while the second half was taken to Georgia. After several years, a Polish officer found the principal half and sold it to an officer in Baku. It was in the long run conveyed to Armenia and the two parts were at last rejoined.
Amid the Soviet time frame it was known as the Lenin Square and a statue of Lenin remained at the square and military parades were held twice (initially thrice) a year. After Armenia's autonomy Lenin's statue was evacuated and the square was renamed. It has been portrayed as Armenia's and the city's "most imperative metro space", Yerevan's "building highlight" and the city's "most exceptional structural troupe". One creator proposed that it is "surely one of the finest focal squares made anyplace on the planet amid the twentieth century."
The square comprises of two areas. The oval indirect that has a stone example in the inside, intended to resemble a customary Armenian floor covering from above. The trapezoid-molded segment which contains the melodic wellspring before the History Museum and the National Gallery. The structures around the square are made of pink and yellow tuff stones, sustained on a basalt-made ground grapple.

The most seasoned piece of this Armenian religious community is the Church of St. Gregory the Enlightener (Սբ. Գրիգոր Լուսավորիչ); it is a domed structure that is typically put in the class of alleged "Mastara-style" places of worship (named after the fifth century church of St. Hovhannes in the town of Mastara, in the Southern piece of Shirak). The establishing date of the religious community is obscure, yet presumably it was fabricated no later than the seventh century, when St. Gregory was raised.
The Cathedral of the Holy Mother of God (Սբ. Աստվածածին) that rules the ascetic complex was worked by the requests of Zakare Zakarian, Amirspasalar (president) and Prince who ruled Eastern Armenia in the thirteenth century together with his sibling Ivane Zakarian. Ruler Zakare began the Cathedral after he purchased Harich from a family speaking to the Pahlavuni line.
The Eastern exterior of the Cathedral elements an alleviation cutting delineating the Zakarian siblings grasping a model of the Cathedral. This subject can be found in numerous other Armenian temples of the time e.g. on the Memorial Cathedral of the Dadivank Monastery in Nagorno Karabakh, and also on primary houses of worship of the Sanahin and Haghartsin religious communities in Armenia. This help was canvassed in 1895 with a marble plaque highlighting Madonna; when the plaque was evacuated, the first cutting appeared underneath.
Haritchavank's Cathedral has a place with the class of "Gandzasar-style" clerical structures that were constructed around in the meantime in various parts of Armenia, and were supplied with comparative compositional and beautifying qualities (another illustration—Cathedral of the Hovhannavank Monastery). Those incorporate umbrella-molded arch, cruciform floor design, narthex (frequently with stalactite-ornamented roof), and high-help of a substantial cross on one of chapel's dividers.
The benefits conceded by the sovereigns to the religious community contributed towards its turning into an extensive social and edification focus of medieval Armenia. Toward the finish of the twelfth and the start of the thirteenth century, two stupendous gavits (narthexes) were worked of enormous stones, some measuring 3.5 meters. The bigger narthex (gavit) is contiguous the Western exterior of the Cathedral and is connected toward the Northern apse of the Church of St. Gregory. It is a rectangular building bolstered by four columns, with a stalactite cutting in the focal piece of the roof.
South of the religious community, on a lofty precipice, stands the Hermitage Chapel. In the graveyard there are vestiges of a little single-nave basilica of the fifth century with attaches in the sides of the holy place apse and fascinating gravestones with ornamented chunks dating from the fifth sixth hundreds of years (now at Armenia's State History Museum in Yerevan).
