This paper introduces a digital preservation initiative focused on Syriac Orthodox Church registers and inventories from Mardin, Turkey. These archives—particularly those housed in the Dayr al-Zaʿfarān Monastery and the Church of the Forty Martyrs—contain centuries-old records that provide invaluable insights into community life and historical continuity. The project adopts a "bottom-up" approach, or "history from below," to highlight the experiences of ordinary people and everyday practices. This perspective contrasts with traditional "top-down" narratives that emphasize the actions of social and religious elites such as bishops and patriarchs, offering a more inclusive view of the past. The initiative seeks to extract detailed social, religious, and geographic information—such as sacred sites, clergy and lay names, baptismal records, and demographic patterns—and organize it within a relational database. This structure will enable scholars to perform advanced searches, identify historical trends, and explore connections across time and space. The project involves designing a relational schema to store and link data from historical sources, allowing researchers to observe and analyze multiple aspects of Syriac community life and its interactions with neighboring groups. Ultimately, this tool will support interdisciplinary scholarship in religious studies, history, and digital humanities.
