Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences

The Action Plan includes the organization of a scientific conference on “The role of “Elm” (“Science”) Publishing House  of ANAS in the history of Azerbaijan Book Culture”, the arrangement of an exhibition titled “Publications of the Century: 100 Years of Science”, the publication of a monograph on the establishment, formation, and development stages of “Elm” Publishing House , the preparation of a two-volume work titled “Elm Publishing House: A Bibliography of a Century-Long Heritage”, the publication of articles titled “Elm Publishing House – 100”, the production of a video dedicated to the 100th anniversary of “Elm” Publishing House,  and more.

It should be mentioned that in September 2025, “Elm” Publishing House will celebrate its 100th anniversary. When the Azerbaijan Society of Research and Investigation was founded, one of its main objectives was the publication of research findings and the establishment of scientific and research-oriented press organs. On the eve of the First Turkology Congress which was held in Baku, the publication of numerous works on Azerbaijani studies was planned, which necessitated the centralization of editorial and publishing activities and the establishment of a unified publishing house. For this purpose, the issue on the establishment of the publishing house was discussed at the meeting of the Presidium of the Central Council of the Society on September 23, 1925, and the management of its activities was entrusted to the Chairman of the Editorial and Publishing Council, Iosif Feodorovich Blinov, and Professor Bekir Chobanzade.

Over the past 100 years, the publishing house has made significant contributions to the widespread dissemination of scientific knowledge and the development of book culture in our country. Today, it continues to serve these high objectives, successfully carrying out its activities.
