Project Description

A Few years ago, the Armenian Cultural Foundation launched a project aimed at collecting and preserving papers of renowned Armenian scholars, writers and artists for future generations. As of today, we have received a number of collections of some renowned personalities, among them world-renowned musician Alan Hovhaness, Boston Conservatory faculty, late Rouben Gregorian, Hayg Boyajdian to name a few. We would like to catalogue the collections of these figures so that we can made them available for research by students and scholars. We intend to have these documents both published and available on our website. Those interested in contributing to this project will be fully acknowledged for their services. To learn more about ACF, please visit our website(www.armenianculturalfoundation.org) or contact me directly.
