The Digitized First Byurakan Survey (DFBS) has been created as a result of digitization of the First Byurakan Survey (FBS) plates, the largest-area spectroscopic sky survey, covering 17,000 sq. deg. FBS is known as Markarian survey; using these low-dispersion spectra, he discovered 1500 UV-excess (UVX) galaxies. Markarian galaxies led to dramatic new knowledge in the field of AGN and starburst galaxies. The FBS plates have also been used for search for UVX stellar objects, late-type stars, and identifications of IRAS sources. New projects are possible with efficient use of the DFBS. At present, 2215 FBS plates have been scanned and stored on 85 DVDs. Astrometric solution for all plates has been done, other software for use of the data is being set. The Armenian Virtual Observatory (ArVO) based on the DFBS is being created offering to users data on any of 20,000,000 objects present in the survey. The ArVO will be complemented with the Second Byurakan Survey (SBS), other Byurakan archive data and observations from the 2.6m telescope and will allow Armenian astronomy to contribute and be integrated into the international AVOs.
